Chapter two hundred and eighty first bend the bow and shoot the eagle
After several days and nights of rapid marching and continuous high-intensity attacks on the prairie, one hundred elite soldiers immediately rested on the spot after eating and drinking, with their swords, bows and crossbows beside them.
The sun shines on the dark faces.
Zhao Yuan did not rest. He sat cross-legged on the boulder and watched for the soldiers.
There is an eagle circling in the sky.
Zhao Yuan did not notice the eagle. The first person who noticed the eagle was the mad Taoist priest lying on the ground. The mad Taoist priest was a strange man. Although his body was not as strong as Zhao Yuan's, his endurance was extremely terrifying. In the past few days, he had
During the night marches and battles, he would immediately become energetic after taking a short rest.
Now, the mad Taoist priest was still in an extremely excited state, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, but he discovered the eagle in the sky.
"No, there are enemies!"
The mad Taoist priest suddenly jumped up and shouted. Immediately, everyone was awakened and jumped up to prepare for the attack, but they found that there was no enemy around.
"Crazy Taoist, where are the enemies?" Zhao Yuan used the realm of tranquility to monitor the area for several miles, but there was no sign of any trouble.
"Look in the sky, the eagle raised by the slave slaves. The way it is circling now is to tell the owner of the eagle our specific location."
"So powerful?" Zhao Yuan was a little doubtful.
"The mad Taoist priest is right. It seems that we are being targeted."
Yang Cheng looked at the sky with a solemn look on his face. If they were targeted by this eagle, no matter where they fled, they would not be able to escape the enemy's surveillance, because no matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than
Prairie eagle flying in the sky.
"You can shoot it down with an arrow." Zhao Yuan said nonchalantly.
"Shoot it down!" Almost everyone looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise.
"Zhao Yuan, this eagle is gliding extremely fast at an altitude of 1,000 meters. Not to mention that the arrow cannot shoot that high. Even if it reaches such a height, the eagle has already disappeared without a trace." Yang Cheng said with a bitter smile.
"Let me cum and see."
Zhao Yuan's Sumeru Precepts all contained horn bows, so he borrowed a long bow from someone at random.
Everyone looked at each other and looked at Zhao Yuan eagerly.
In fact, no one believed that Zhao Yuan could shoot an eagle thousands of meters high. After all, that was beyond the scope of human thinking. In addition, the shooting distance of a longbow could not reach that far.
Among ordinary people, being able to cross the Yangtze River at a hundred steps is already very powerful.
The art of Yi Jian is to turn decay into magic.
After Zhao Yuan and Lan Cai'er practiced together, the art of Yi Jian has reached a higher level. In addition, Zhao Yuan has become more and more proficient in using the seal of martial arts, and the art of Yi Jian has made further progress.
Longbow in hand.
Zhao Yuan's deep eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
There are not many longbowmen in Blackwater City, because the longbow is different from the horn bow. The user must have a strong body, superb skills and the ability to coordinate in all aspects. For this, the soldiers must go through years of hard work.
Training and practice.
However, because warriors all have strong physical characteristics, even the most junior warriors are extremely good longbowmen. Of course, warriors rarely use longbows as weapons, because longbowmen must be in formation to attack the enemy from a distance
, and warriors are better at charging into battle. In a practical sense, longbows are useless to warriors.
Cavalry is a longbowman's nightmare.
Once the cavalry charges into the longbowmen's position, it will turn into a one-sided massacre. Therefore, the longbowmen are walking behind to provide cover for the cavalry and infantry, and the cavalry and infantry, in turn, provide cover for the longbowmen. Provide protection.
Theoretically, the fall of the Longbowmen's position is equivalent to the defeat of the war. Of course, that is only a theoretical existence. After all, war changes rapidly, and there are all kinds of unexpected possibilities.
In fact, warriors equipped with longbows are mainly used to shoot some important enemy generals from a distance, rather than used in large-scale battles. After all, no country would put elite masters like warriors behind to shoot arrows. It is undoubtedly a huge task. waste of resources.
These one hundred elite soldiers have reached the lowest level of junior warriors. Like Yang Cheng, they are infinitely close to intermediate warriors.
There is no doubt that these one hundred people are all excellent longbowmen.
However, just because everyone is an extremely good longbowman, everyone knows how difficult it is to shoot an eagle in the sky.
A hundred steps to cross a poplar is only a few tens of feet.
This eagle is already hundreds of feet high in the sky.
Anyone who is slightly familiar with birds knows that the prairie eagle has a wingspan of about one foot and likes to stay at an altitude of a hundred feet. It is impossible for ordinary archers to shoot arrows that high. Moreover, the feathers of the prairie eagle are used to reduce gliding. The air resistance of the eagle has become shiny and smooth during thousands of years of evolution. If the bow and arrow are not shot vertically into the eagle's body, the arrow will slip on its feathers, making it difficult to stab or kill them completely. .
On the prairie, the only person who can shoot eagles, apart from some antiques from the Lan Caier family, is Master Ruolin, the King of Martial Arts.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, a master of vulture shooting appeared in the Shanyu family...
…
A feather arrow was in Zhao Yuan's hand.
The atmosphere became tense.
At this time, Zhao Yuan was standing on the boulder, his long hair flying, and his pair of deep eyes staring closely at the eagle in the sky, like a lifeless sculpture.
The seal of the martial witch lurking in the dragon armor was activated by Zhao Yuan, locking onto the circling eagle high in the sky...
Suddenly, a huge force poured into Zhao Yuan's body.
Seal of Martial Arts!
Zhao Yuan's body trembled, and he felt a surging power suddenly pouring into his body. He was sure that it was not his own power.
Could it be that this is the power of ancient gods!
Although Zhao Yuan was shocked in his heart, he calmly bent his bow and drew an arrow.
The moment he bent the bow and set the arrow, the majestic power followed his arm and poured into the lifeless bow and arrow. Even the bow string was injected with unparalleled power...
…
stretch!
A slight sound,
The long arrow feathers came out of the string and flew into the sky like lightning. In the air, the arrow feathers actually formed a high-speed spiral force. The steel arrows actually had violent friction with the air, producing a dazzling fire, which was breathtaking. Thrilling.
Peng!
Just when people held their breath, suddenly, the arrow feathers burned, forming a tail flame.
The sharp arrow head rubbed against the dazzling arc light, trailing a long tail flame behind it and approaching the eagle. The eagle seemed to feel the threat to its life, and let out a cry, circled, and was about to escape...
…
It's too late, it's too late.
At the moment when the feathers at the tail of the arrow burned, the sharp and flaming arrow had already penetrated the body of the eagle. At this time, the eagle had just screamed and tried to escape.
"Walk!"
Zhao Yuan did not hesitate, jumped on the horseback from the boulder, and galloped wildly.
Seeing Zhao Yuan galloping away on horseback, a group of dumbfounded soldiers suddenly woke up and hurriedly followed Zhao Yuan. Behind them, hundreds of fine horses followed. For a moment, sand and rocks flew on the grassland, covering the sky.
On the day, it seemed as if thousands of troops were galloping...
…
In less than two hours, a cavalry force of nearly a thousand people appeared where Zhao Yuan and the others were resting. The leader was the warrior Hu Yansheng. Beside him, there was a short middle-aged man. Although the middle-aged man was short in stature,
But it is extremely powerful, and the whole look has a fearsome and sturdy aura.
He is Chen Hu, who ranks second on the list of the top ten warriors of Ci Nu.
In Chen Hu's hands was the eagle shot to death by Zhao Yuan. The eagle's body still had the completely burned arrow feathers stuck in it.
The art of shooting arrows.
Seal of Martial Arts.
who is it?
Who can use the art of arrows and the seal of martial arts at the same time?
Chen Hu looked solemn.
Chen Hu knew that on the prairie, the most powerful archery technique was the Yi Jian technique. However, it was a patent for women. Only women could learn the essence of the Yi Jian technique. The martial arts seal was for men.
