Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 932
"What?" The vice-principals of the Zhongdu and the majors of the capital were also taken aback at this time, and some people asked suspiciously: "I only heard that Li Guang, the flying general of the Han Dynasty, and Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty had such Ability? Is there really someone who can shoot an arrow into a solid rock?"

"You melons!" The battalion commander spit, as if talking about his own deeds, "I heard that the bow and archery assessment method of the military academy was personally inquired by His Majesty. In the first phase of the military academy training, all the regiments sent He is a powerful person, among them there are many sharpshooters, but only brother Po Dao got full marks, you think that is a joke. I heard that in the second phase of military academy training, no one from each legion has been able to achieve full marks so far .”

He danced and danced, as if he saw it with his own eyes. Although what he said was indeed true, Chang Po Dao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He wanted to interrupt him several times, but he couldn't allow Chang Po Dao to interrupt at all. The vice-principals of Zhongdu and the principals of the major capital opened their mouths wide open, still looking skeptical, but the battalion commander was even more angry than Chang Podao, and turned to ask Chang Podao again: "Brother Podao, your Where are the bows and arrows? Have you brought them? Show these melons a lesson and tell them to draw their bows. These melons brag every day that they can draw three stone bows."

Chang Podao became more and more troubled. He saw the battalion commander's fists and fists, and the officers who were about the same level as him also looked forward to it, but there were some unwritten rules in it. They are all unwilling to be touched by others.Shi Lang and Zhong Sanhe both wanted to see his bow, but he politely refused.But he also knows that these warriors in front of him are not as considerate as Shi Lang and Zhong Sanhe. They kindly invite him to drink and eat meat, and they also kindly want to see his bow and arrow. Misunderstand.Colleagues in the military are the most taboo of misunderstanding, which affects harmony.If this incident caused rumors of his arrogance, it would still have a great impact on him, a small company commander who just came to the Suzaku Legion not long ago.

Chang Podao was thinking about trying to find a way to get the best of both worlds, but an unexpected incident saved him.

On the other side of the Yellow River, there was suddenly the sound of horns, horseshoes, bowstrings being pulled, arrows piercing the air, and the shouts of Tubo people one after another.

Everyone threw away their chopsticks and wine glasses in a hurry, and went to get their own bows and arrows and weapons.Chang Podao's family lives in the northwest, he can understand some Tubo dialect, and he is a first-class master, his hearing is much better than ordinary people. At this moment, he can clearly hear the Tubo people on the other side shouting: "Stop him!" "Catch him!" Stop him!" "Hugh told him to run away!" and so on.

Now, although the sight is blocked by the vegetation on the other side of the river, Chang Po Dao knew in his heart that Tubo must be intercepting someone, so he shouted loudly: "Quick, get ready for the ferry, and shake me to the other side!"

Several officers looked at him suspiciously, and the battalion commander urged loudly: "Hurry up! Listen to Company Commander Chang and prepare a ferry for him."

As soon as the battalion commander gave an order, a ferry boat rolled to the side of the ferry. Two mid-level non-commissioned officers of the Suzaku Legion squatted on the bow holding their long shields. At the stern, there was a local boatman jostling, and there was a man in civilian attire, He raised a door panel and used it as a shield to protect the boatman.Chang Po Dao didn't say much, took the bow and arrow, jumped three feet away, and landed on the ferry boat as lightly as possible, causing everyone behind him to exclaim, and the boatman shook the boat and slowly moved towards the other side of the river. drive away.

When the ferry boat reached the middle of the river, the situation on the other side gradually became clear.Sure enough, as expected by Broken Sword, there were dozens of Tubo cavalry, and they were chasing the officers and several soldiers in the uniform of the vice-college of the Shaodu of the two Xiangfu countries.The two vice-principals of the Shaodu, one riding a bay red horse and the other riding a white horse, galloped northward while drawing their bows to fight back. The vice-principal of the Shaodu who ran further south had obviously seen Chang Podao's ferry and was very happy Waving and shouting on the horse, unexpectedly he got distracted and was shot by the Tubo people on his mount, and then he heard a piercing cheer from those Tubo people.

"Boater, row faster! Row faster!" Chang Podao kept urging the boatman loudly in a hurry, but the boatman had already tried his best, and the speed of the ferry was limited, but it couldn't go half a minute.

But the chase on the north bank was still going on, and the remaining vice-principal Shaodu on the bay red horse passed the place where his companion fell off the horse, and slowed down a little, Chang Podao heard him let out a mournful roar, and urged the horse to gallop, feeling a pang in his heart Shen, it is known that the vice-principal of Shaodu who fell off the horse is no longer alive.He calculated the distance with his eyes, and saw that when the surviving vice-principal of Shaodu galloped to the river, it was difficult for his boat to reach the other side, and he felt even more anxious.

But the vice-principal of Shaodu was unexpectedly witty.When he was approaching the river, he no longer drew his bow to fight back, but abandoned all the bows and arrows, and then dismounted his armor while galloping.

"Smart!" Chang Podao praised in his heart, sure enough, the vice-captain Shaodu reached the river, only the breastplate was difficult to remove for a while, he quickly jumped off the horse, hid his body behind the horse, and quickly removed it The last breastplate, with a single leap, jumped into the river.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers behind Chang Podao.He also let out a long breath, slowly drew his bow and set his arrow, aiming at the north bank, while thinking silently, one hundred steps, ninety steps, eighty steps, when he let go of his right finger, a feathered arrow flew out of his hand It flew out, and passed through the chest of the Tubo soldier who was at the front.

The cheers behind Chang Podao grew louder.

But at this time, Chang Po Dao could not hear the sound of the robe behind him at all. When his arrow hit the bowstring, his whole body became one with the bow and arrow in his hand. He just calmly and gracefully drew the bow, set the arrow, and then fired. I saw the Tubo soldiers on the other side falling off their horses one by one following the sound of his bowstring.

He is not just the kind of sharpshooter who can shoot all kinds of shots, but another kind of scary sharpshooter.Sometimes his arrows would pierce through a Tubo cavalry wearing heavy armor, and then take the life of another Tubo soldier behind him!

Chang Podao didn't notice that soon the two sides of the Yellow River were no longer shouting or cheering, but became completely silent.

He just saw the astonishment and fear on the faces of the Tubo soldiers on the south bank, and then saw them slowly back away with unwillingness but fear until they disappeared from his sight.

At this time, Chang Podao carefully rehung his bow and arrow.When he turned around, a wet young man in the canopy was smiling at him, with unconcealable admiration in his eyes.He saw him cupping his fists towards him, and said a little tiredly: "I, Zeng Guoyong, dare to ask your brother's name?"

"Zeng Guoyong?" Chang Podao felt as if he had heard of this name before. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and then remembered that this was the son of a high-ranking military official who participated in the first military academy training with him. He raised his head and was shocked. Said: "Zeng Guoyong! It turns out that under one step is Uncle Lingwu, the son of General Zhaoxin! I often break my sword."

Zeng Guoyong looked stunned, and said: "So it's Brother Chang, I said, why does he look familiar, and he has such amazing archery skills."

On the same day, at the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, Huangwan Pass.

Zhe Yuxuan went back to his compound in Huangwan after touring the camp. Fang asked someone to prepare a table of food and drank some wine. Suddenly, someone came to report that Zhang Shouyi had invited him to the military war room to discuss matters. .Zhe Yuxuan was quite smart in his work. He had already figured out that if he had the opportunity to make military achievements with Song Jun this time, he would not be able to suffer any losses on the battle report. When actually marching and fighting, he completely delegated power to the brigade commander Zhang Shouyi, so that if the battle was defeated, the military judges in the army would naturally know that Zhang Shouyi had misconducted the command, but if he won the battle, he would definitely lose a lot of military exploits.

At this time, hearing that Zhang Guoyi had an invitation, Zhe Yuxuan put down the jug and went to the war room in the barracks.

When they came to the war room, they saw both Zhang Shouyi and Wang Jing were there.Although Zhang Shouyi's expression was normal and he couldn't see any clues, there was a hint of a smile on Wang Jing's tired face.The two got up first to salute Zhe Yuxuan, and Zhe Yuxuan returned the salute to them, sitting under the chair of the general in the middle, they asked: "Brigade Commander Zhang, Battalion Commander Wang, what's the good news? "

Zhang Shouyi nodded, secretly praised Zhe Yuxuan for his shrewdness, and said, "I'd better ask the deputy army chief to read it for himself."

While talking, Zhang Shouyi took out a piece of white silk with small characters written on it from the case, and handed it to Zhe Yuxuan with both hands.

Zhe Yuxuan knew that these were "wax bombs", which were used by the army of the Xiangfu Kingdom to transmit military secret information. They were mostly written on white or yellow silk, sealed with wax on the outside, and sewn into the thigh of the messenger.Zhe Yuxuangui is the deputy commander of the army, so he has naturally seen it.Holding the piece of white silk, he leaned close to a candlestick and looked at it by the candlelight.

Sure enough, it was a document sent by the army headquarters, which said that after learning of the Song army's provocation, the head of the army, Tuoba Gelu, personally led the main force of the [-] white wolf army to the lower valley, and would arrive soon.Zhe Yuxuan's expression was a little gloomy, and Zhang Shouyi's expression was also helpless. After Tuoba Gelu brought the main force, they would have fewer chances to make meritorious deeds.

"After the head of the army arrives with the main force, the Song army will not act rashly." Zhe Yuxuan returned the white silk to Zhang Shouyi, secretly glanced at Zhang Shouyi and Wang Jing, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "So, if we... …If you want to avenge the brothers who died in battle today, you must destroy the Song army before the army commander arrives."

Zhang Shouyi glanced at Zhe Yuxuan with a half-smile, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The deputy army commander is very worried, more than 300 brothers died under his subordinates, and those Song soldiers must not be allowed to leave just like that. It's just that...the Song Army's strength is comparable to ours, so it's very difficult to do this with just a brigade of lower officials."

Zhe Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang Shouyi say this, and then his heart moved again, and he said, "Could it be that Brigadier Zhang has made a plan?"
