Chapter 297 Quiver Warrior

On the grassy slope in the distance, ten cavalrymen were cruising under the sun, watching and sizing them up. This feeling was not only unpleasant to Wu Keshan, but also to other Tatar nobles.

Wu Keshan said: "Go to a group of elite cavalry, kill them, and bring back their heads. Don't let the shadow of the Han people appear in my eyes."

With grass clippings flying and horse hooves flying, about fifty elite Tatar soldiers rushed out from Wu Keshan and charged directly at the ten cavalrymen on the grassy slope.

These fifty elite soldiers are Wu Keshan's elite soldiers. They are good at using heavy arrows and can shoot through iron armor in fifty steps. Horqin's name originated from Xianbei, which means a guard with a bow and arrow. He was once one of the most elite Qixue troops under Temujin's command, and he was the best at shooting. Although he has become much weaker now, he has inherited the tradition and is still famous for his good shooting.

Wu Keshan only has 500 such elite soldiers, with the title of quiver warrior.

On the grassy slope, for ten nights, the scout cavalry did not stop, brazenly spying on the Tatar army, laughing and talking, clearly not taking the Tatars seriously.

These ten days of staying alive are a ten-man-long team organized by a certain unit under Qian Yue's account that stays going all night. They are all veterans who followed Ying Yi from Henan to the capital. They are extremely elite and powerful.

"The number of Tatars who entered the country is quite large. Isn't it fifty or sixty thousand?"

"There are fifty or sixty thousand. It seems to be of some interest, but that's it."

"Ten Chief, look at the people in front of them, are they Horqin's leaders? If you can kill the leader, it will definitely be a great achievement."

"Gouzi, you are not petty. How can you kill someone with an army of tens of thousands?"

"somebody is coming."

"Fifty riders."

"Well done. If you can't kill the leader, you can just kill a few soldiers. The left and right are also military merits. Ten commander, let's eat these fifty Tatars?"

"You don't want to be an old boss? You can't. The superiors have issued a death order. Before the decisive battle, the Tatars cannot be alerted and run away. If there are ten of us, we will eat these fifty Tatars who still look like elite soldiers. People, haven’t they ruined the calculations from above?”

"But you can't leave empty-handed."

"It's impossible to return empty-handed after listening to the boss's orders. It's no problem to kill three or five."

At this time, fifty Tatar quivers were within a hundred paces, and they were already raising their big bows and drawing heavy arrows. Their riding skills are extremely impressive. They hold bows and draw arrows without holding the reins. They are one man and horse. As the horse's back rises and falls, the upper body clearly remains motionless in the shooting posture.

"coming!"

Shi Chang said: "Follow Lao Zi."

Immediately they drew their horses and the ten horsemen turned around and walked away, as if in panic or fleeing.

However, the horse power was not as good as that of the Tatars, and they were gradually overtaken.

At seventy steps, someone said: "Shi Chang, I can't help but want to take a shot."

The scouts were holding three-eyed guns and could hardly bear it anymore.

"Don't be anxious." Shi Chang said: "It's easy to kill them, but don't forget that we don't harvest them at night. Try the quality of these Tatars to see how powerful they are, and then report it to them. Credit.”

Then he said: "We will fight back after they have fired one round. We have armor on us, so there is nothing we can do about the bow and arrow."

At fifty steps, the quiver man unfurled his bow and nocked an arrow. With a booming sound and a hum that pierced the air, the dozen cavalrymen chasing in front let go of their arrows!

The archery skills of these quiver warriors were extremely precise. At a distance of fifty steps, both sides galloped on horseback. With more than ten arrows, 70% of them hit the target!

Ding ding ding! ! !

The fine iron arrowhead of the heavy arrow hit the gold-yuan alloy armor fiercely, sparking a little fire! The scout on horseback even swayed slightly under the heavy arrow! This shows how powerful the heavy arrow is!

If such a heavy arrow fell on an ordinary soldier, he would have to be shot off his horse. But these ten elite knights who never stopped at night were all extremely powerful and had outstanding physiques. After receiving the arrow, they only swayed slightly and then stabilized.

"Good guy, this heavy arrow is quite powerful."

As he spoke, the ten knights turned around, and the ten three-eyed guns flashed, and the thick smoke was left behind. The bangs and bangs of the explosions dispersed, and they saw the quiver warriors chasing after them. Six people fell off their horses.

The quiver warrior behind was shocked, and could not help but panic for a moment.

The detective knight wanted to shoot again, but was stopped by the tenth commander: "Don't hit me. If you hit me again, I'm afraid I'll scare them. Let's go. We've found everyone we need to spy on. It's important to go back and report."

"These Tartars are cheap, bah!"

The ten horsemen reined up their horses and rode away, but the quiver man did not dare to get close. He moved seventy steps away and then shot again, but he could not be hurt. He continued like this, and the speed gradually slowed down. After more than ten miles, he gave up.

"Their armor is too strong, their defense is watertight, and their heavy arrows are useless. Their fire muskets are also extremely accurate, and they can't stop hitting them when they get close."

"Changshengtian! Do all our enemies have armor like this?"

"Impossible. Only a very small number of elites should have such armor."

The quiver soldier returned lazily with six corpses. Wu Keshan was furious and furious, but also secretly frightened.

"My quiver warriors can break through iron armor within fifty steps, but they can't help but kill only ten scouts. Instead, six of them died. Do you think our enemy is so powerful?!"

As Wu Keshan said this, there was a trace of hesitation in his heart.

He suddenly remembered what happened a few months ago. Following the Qing Dynasty, General Abatai was ordered to attack the Mongolian Eight Banners' elite soldiers. There were 30,000 soldiers, but only a few thousand came back.

The explanation given by the Qing Dynasty was that the ambush was messed up and the army was destroyed by fire and water. Now it seems that this may not be the case.

But then I thought about it, as the returning quiver warrior said, there should be only a few armors that cannot be penetrated by heavy arrows, right? Thinking about the Ming Dynasty's border defense troops, very few wore armor. Even if the current enemy who replaced Ming Ting is extremely powerful, how long did it take for him to rise? It's impossible to have many fine armors.

Thinking of this, Wu Keshan felt at ease.

Then I heard brother Chahan say: "Just like in the Ming Dynasty army, all the elites are elites even if they don't collect at night. Brother, you don't need to have other people's ambitions to destroy your own prestige. In my opinion, there must be only a few elite soldiers like this. They can be used as reconnaissance cavalry, but they are not large-scale." "

Wu Keshan nodded and said: "Our enemy's reconnaissance cavalry are in front of me, but I don't know where they are yet. My brother, send out your fastest cavalry. I want to know where the enemy is now. .”

Then he added: "Invite the great shaman and tell him that I have something important to ask him."

Not long after, a carriage came slowly from behind. A skinny old Tatar got out of the carriage.

This is Horqin's great shaman, spiritual leader, and spokesperson of the Immortal Heaven in the world.

"Great Shaman, I ask you to harness the elf of Changshengtian to search for traces of the enemy. I need to know where our enemy is."

The great shaman didn't say anything. He took out a dark piccolo from his leather pocket, put it to his mouth and blew it. Without hearing the sound, he saw a few black spots flying high in the sky in the distance. Big, it turned out to be several giant eagles.
