Chao Yong did not go to see the execution of the officials who surrendered to Liao, nor did he go to the city gate to listen to the people's gratitude and thanks. Instead, he brought Dong Ping and Hua Rong to Baigou River early in the morning.

Xiongzhou is only twenty miles away from the Baigou River. Because the Liao soldiers often crossed the border and built grass valleys, there were no villages at all in these twenty miles, but it was not an endless wasteland. Instead, ponds appeared from time to time, which was the "Great Water Wall" built by Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi.

Since the border between the Liao and Song Kingdom is plains and the two countries are warring, the Liao cavalry often drives straight in, so the Song Kingdom needs to find ways to restrict the Liao cavalry. So someone came up with the mountains, rivers and swamps in Hebei to create square fields and restrict the Liao cavalry's long-distance straight in. This square field is actually a large pond with only small paths in the middle.

If the Liao cavalry went south from here, they could only form a snake formation to pass, which gave the Song soldiers the opportunity to snipe. After all, the charge of thousands of troops was difficult to resist, but if only a few cavalry was limited, the impact was limited.

The water wall cannot cover the borders of Liang Kingdom because the water in the river is limited.

Walking through the path in the middle of the pond makes people feel like a stallion becomes a boat.

As soon as I passed the "Great Water Wall", I saw five "far-stalls" roaring, all of which were one man and two horses.

Chao Yong picked up the Overlord's Bow hanging on the saddle and smiled at Hua Rong: "Let Liao Gou see the power of our Han Dynasty archers."

Hua Rong knew Chao Yong's shooting skills and smiled and said, "The prince left me two."

Yuanlanzi, who was running from Mercedes-Benzhang, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chao Yong and the others taking out their bows and arrows.

However, when they saw the three of them being brightly armored and fighting horses under their crotch, they knew that they were generals of Liang, but they had the idea of ​​capturing the three of them alive, and did not use bows and arrows to shoot, but just stared at Chao Yong and Hua Rong, ready to avoid them.

Yuanluozi is all elite Khitan warriors, each of whom has good martial arts skills, let alone riding and shooting, but they don’t think Chao Yong and the others can shoot them.

But soon the five people knew that they were wrong, but they had no chance to correct them.

Two black lights flashed by, and before they could react, they were shot off the horse by Chao Yong's arrows.

Seeing this, the third man hurriedly danced the scimitar in his hand. He saw a black light attacking him. He hurriedly slashed him, but he cut him in vain and then felt a severe pain in his lower abdomen.

When he looked down, a blood hole the size of a child's fist appeared in the horse's neck. An iron arrow shot through the horse's neck and the hardwood guarding the saddle, and finally shot into his lower abdomen, leaving only two inches of iron arrow feathers.

“So strong.”

The third man exclaimed, and the war horse under his crotch fell down with a bang. His eyes turned dark and he fainted.

Hua Rong also used a strong bow, and with an arrow on his hand, he shot one person off the horse.

The last man saw that the situation was not good, and knew that he had met a rare sharpshooter in the Liao Kingdom. He also knew that if he turned around and escaped, he would only die faster. He hurriedly grabbed the bow and arrow and wanted to shoot against Hua Rong. He hid in a stirrup, hung it in a crooked place on the saddle, and shot at Hua Rong with an arrow.

Although Hua Rong's continuous pearl arrow was not faster than Chao Yong, the second arrow arrived in the blink of an eye, and one arrow hit the last person's throat.

"Well"

The last person stared at the arrow he shot, and was dropped by Hua Rong with a bow sheath. He swallowed his last breath without hesitation and dropped off the horse with a plop.

Chao Yong's three arrows and Hua Rong's two arrows were almost completed at the same time. Dong Ping saw the two of them in the blink of an eye and shot the five cavalrymen from afar and couldn't help but praise: "The prince and General Hua's sharp shots are so sharp that Dong Ping admires."

He had fought against Liao soldiers in Hebei, and the most difficult thing was to fight the long stalk. However, those who crossed the border to attack Caogu were usually ordinary Liao soldiers. Yuanbazi was an elite Liao army, so naturally they didn't have to worry about food and grass. However, occasionally, there were also long stalks who crossed the border to attack Caogugu. Yuanbazi would not appear on a large scale, but just a few cavalry also made the border army suffer. The shooting skills were not as good as the far stalks, and the riding skills were not as good as others, let alone war horses.

It is even more difficult to achieve the goal of surrounding the far-distance jail. On weekdays, one man and two horses are always coming and going like the wind.

It is said that these five far-distance slams are also unfair. When they meet a hundred and eighty Song soldiers on weekdays, they dare to fight. The Song army formed a formation, so they wandered outside and shot until the Song army collapsed and rushed again. But this time they encountered two rare sharpshooters in the world, and were shot and killed before they even got close to each other.

In the past, they were the only ones who shot and played with the Han people. Unexpectedly, today the five people only shot one arrow and their entire army was destroyed.

Chao Yong relied on the strength of the Overlord Bow and the penetration of the iron arrow to kill three people. The two shot directly through the chest, and the third one was to kill them with people and horses.

However, the two people who Hua Rong shot were arrows in their throats, relying on accurate shooting techniques.

Chao Yong took back the iron arrow, and the three of them continued to come to Baigou River.

A few more far-distance stalks were shot and killed along the way, and they were discovered by far-distance stalks.

Yuanzunzi found that he could not match the two men's sharp shots, so he warned the surrounding Yuanzunzi. No one came to tease the three people again, but just monitored the three people from afar.

Chao Yong was not interested in chasing them, and he probably couldn't catch up. Although the three of them were carefully selected war horses, the war horses in Yuanluozi were also the best war horses in Liao Kingdom, and the gap was really small. Yuanluozi was all people who grew up on horseback, so their riding skills were definitely better than the three.

Baigou River is also called Juma River. It is a border river between the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty. It was called Laishui in ancient times. It was changed to Juma River in the Han Dynasty because the river water had the momentum of giant horses galloping. Later, it was changed to Juma River because Liu Kun once resisted the invasion of Shile cavalry here during the Jin Dynasty.

Shi Le is the emperor of the Qiang people in the Five Barbarians' Invasion in China. He once surrounded and killed more than 200,000 Han soldiers and civilians in the Battle of Kuxian, and his soldiers under his command shared the bodies of Han people.

When Shi Le was in power, the Hu people plundered Han people without being punished. The Hu people had the need and could ask for things from ordinary Han people at will. At the same time, they were taboo to call the nomadic people the Hu people, but to call it "national people". They even issued a law that whether they speak or write articles, the word "Hu" is strictly prohibited, and violators would be beheaded.

Once, Shi Le summoned local officials in the Shanyu Courtyard. When he saw Fan Tan, the governor of Xiangguo County, came to see him in patched clothes, and was very dissatisfied.

He asked, "Fan Tan, why are you here to come to see me when you are not dressed?"

Without thinking, Fan Tan said, "It's all because the Hu people are unfair and robbed all their clothes, which made me have to come to the court in rags."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had violated the ban and hurriedly kowtowed and apologized. At that time, there were still relatively few Han literati who surrendered to Shi Le, so Shi Le did not kill him because of this.

However, I was still a little resentful, afraid that Fan Tan would have a deep prejudice against the Hu people in his heart, so he would do things that were not good for his rule behind his back.

When he was given a banquet, Shi Le pointed to a plate of Hu Gua and asked Fan Tan: "Do you know what this thing is called?"

Fan Tan was also nervous. Shi Le was the one who killed people without blinking. Seeing Shi Le pointing at Hu Gua and asking him, he replied respectfully: "Purple case delicacy, silver cup green tea, golden cup of nectar, jade plate cucumber."

After hearing this, Shi Le smiled with satisfaction and gave him three million yuan in carriages, horses and clothes.

Fan Tan knew that the money was not really compensated for being robbed by the Hu thief, but gave him the reward of the name "cucumber". Hu Gua was native to the Western Regions. After Zhang Qian brought it back from the frontier, he was always called Hu Gua because this melon originated from the Hu people.

Shile forbids people to use the word "Hu", but Hu Gua has changed many names, and people are still used to calling it Hu Gua.

Shi Le thought the name cucumber could replace Hu Gua.

This is the origin of "cucumber".

The county magistrates were often looted by the Hu people, and you can imagine the situation of the Han people at that time.

It was precisely because of Shi Le's tyranny against the Han people that Liu Kun's resistance to Shi Le seemed even more valuable, and the people changed the Juma River to the Juma River.

The source of Baigou River is countless springs, with very large water coming out. You can dig a hole in the woodland and form a spring. The spring water surging against fine sand, so Baigou River flows continuously all year round.

Three floating bridges have been laid on the river surface dozens of feet wide, each of which can accommodate three horses.

This is the result of Yelu Dashi's past few days. He could not send troops, but he was not willing to sit in the military camp and built these three floating bridges.

As soon as Yelu Yanxi arrives, the army can quickly cross the river and open up new territory.

Because Xiongzhou was invaded Liao, Yelu Dashi did not suffer any casualties when building these three floating bridges. It was just that a Han craftsman accidentally fell into the water and washed away.
