Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 70
The clacking of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and Zhou Jin and the others who had just finished selling wine also had serious expressions on their faces. They hurried to the shade of the trees, and fled into the woods as soon as they found something was wrong.

Soon, the owner of the sound of horseshoes appeared in front of Zhang Tie and others. They were more than 20 horses, wearing gray leopard-print leather armor, well-equipped spears, and white masks on their heads. There are people with bows and arrows on horses.

Under Zhang Tie's powerful effect, it was not difficult to find that each of these people had fierce eyes and looked excitedly at the carriage beneath them.

Zhou Jin and the others who were still behind the tree not far away changed their complexions drastically when they saw the person's attire, and they turned around and were about to run into the woods.

As if thinking of something, Zhou Jin turned his head and shouted to Zhang Tie and the others: "Everyone, be careful, the gangsters from Wucheng County are here, they are unreasonable at all, and they usually kill all the caravans they meet. "

After finishing speaking, Zhou Jin hurriedly ran into the woods, chasing his men.

Hearing what Zhou Jin said, Zhang Tie and the others frowned. Zhang Tie and the others had also heard about the bandits in Wucheng County. They were lawless people. Wucheng County wanted to suppress them many times. Unfortunately, none of them worked.

These gangsters all have mounts, they come and go without a trace, and they wear masks every time they strike, and once they strike, they will leave no one alive.

It wasn't until three years ago that a person who narrowly escaped the catastrophe appeared that people knew the existence of such a group of thugs, but no one knew who they were, what they looked like, who their leader was, and the significance of doing so What, all this is still a mystery.

These bandits have always been the magistrate of Wucheng County's heart, and it is precisely because of this that he has been criticized by the Shangguan.

Bandits are also well-known on the most wanted list, and the bounty has reached 20 taels of silver per person, but still no one can get the reward.

Some counterfeiters used the head of an ordinary bandit to claim the silver taels. As a result, the next day, this person and his family members died at home, all of them had their heads cut off, and there were big characters written in blood on the ground, "If you have the ability, you can do it." Come get the real thing."

The reputation of arrogance spread throughout Wucheng County, and also reached the ears of Zhang Tie and other bodyguards.

And when the gangster was less than 200 meters away from Zhang Tie and the others, a prompt appeared on Zhang Tie's retina.

【Ding!Task reminder! 】

【Repel the gangsters! 】

[Task content: Your convoy encounters fierce bandits on the official road, repel them! 】

[Task reward: 20000 experience, 5000 system coins, reputation +100. 】

[Task status: In progress. 】

The corners of Zhang Tie's eyes twitched habitually. Since he knew that he was in front of a notorious gangster, he naturally didn't need any polite words.

"Those with long-range weapons will enter the range later, and directly attack a wave with long-range weapons."

While giving orders to the bodyguards, Zhang Tie also directly took off the quiver, and quickly inserted all the arrows on the ground for easy access.

There are four bodyguards with crossbows, all of them are experienced bodyguards, and they don't even know how to use crossbows and bows, so they never thought about carrying long-range weapons.

Putting on the bow and arrow, the gangsters were getting closer and closer to Zhang Tie and the others.

Aiming at the person in front, Zhang Tie shot the first arrow in his hand, and the arrow shot out with a whistling sound.

The moment the arrow was shot, Zhang Tie felt that the feeling of shooting was completely different, and the speed of the arrow was nearly twice as fast.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but Zhang Tie felt that there was an invisible force attached to the iron arrow.

The iron arrow roared and shot directly through the chest of one of the gangsters in the front row, and then hit another gangster behind him, and the shaft of the iron arrow was inserted into it.

The galloping horse bandits were slightly stunned, but the horses were still rushing forward. At this time, the distance was still about 150 meters. The effective killing range of ordinary bows and arrows is only so much, but now they not only shot through No.1, Also shot the second person.

Although he was surprised, but the gangster is a gangster, knowing that he and others were within range, he crazily accelerated his horse speed.

Zhang Tie in the car shot another arrow. One of the gangsters who was the first to be among them had been prepared for a long time. He lay on his horse and dodged the arrow. On the ray, he was directly thrown to the ground by an arrow.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!There were four consecutive sounds, and four crossbow bolts were shot out. It seems that Ma Chao and other four bodyguards shot the crossbow bolts in their hands.

As mentioned earlier, the use of crossbows is prohibited.Because the operation of the crossbow is very simple and does not require shooting skills, it is easy for civilians to master its use.

The crossbow has many advantages, such as longer range, high accuracy, etc., but the real advantage over the bow is the delay of its launch. The crossbow can launch whenever you want, but the bow cannot.

The crossbowman can hold the crossbow with a good string, aim carefully and slowly, or listen to the command of the commander to pull the crossbow.

However, the normal rate of fire (the number of arrows fired per unit time) is three to four times that of a crossbow for a bow of the same poundage.Considering the operation of the crossbow when reloading, it is safe to say that four times, three times is already a bit optimistic.

This means that on the battlefield of large-scale battles, in fact, accuracy is not very important. The most important thing is the continuous output of firepower and the density of coverage. From this perspective, the bow is obviously much better than the crossbow.

The reason why the crossbow has been used on a large scale on the battlefield is that its range is greater than that of the bow. In other words, the penetration is stronger, and the accuracy is second.

Especially the crossbow, which is a powerful individual crossbow that uses both hands and feet, can kill the enemy's heavy armor more effectively than a bow, so a powerful crossbow is also indispensable for long-range troops.

Compared with bows and arrows, ordinary crossbows can only be used as a one-time long-range attack, because after you shoot an arrow, someone may have already arrived in front of you, and the reloading is too slow.

And in Zhang Tie's store, there is even an artifact of the crossbow, the Zhuge Liannu, and the corresponding arms.

The Zhuge Liannu is a terrible weapon that can shoot continuously, it almost completely abandons the shortcomings of the crossbow, and it is stronger than the bow and arrow.

The four crossbows were shot flat, and except for one unlucky ghost who was shot in the arm, the other crossbows were all dodged by the gangsters.

When Zhang Tie shot the third arrow, the gangsters were less than 100 meters away from them. This time Zhang Tie did not aim at the gangsters in the front row, but deliberately aimed at the gangsters in the back row whose view was blocked by the front.

The arrow directly blasted the gangster's head, and white and red flowers bloomed. However, Zhang Tie not only did not feel satisfied, but frowned, and shouted loudly at the people beside him, "Hide behind the car."

But when the gangsters arrived less than 100 meters away from Zhang Tie and others, a dozen of them took out the bows and arrows hanging on the horse, put on the bows and arrows, and shot indiscriminately in the direction of the convoy.

At the same time as he said these words, Zhang Tie himself hid behind the car, squatted down, and a rain of arrows fell, and a tripper who was unable to react was directly hit by two arrows, one in the arm, one in the chest, and two in the chest. The arrows penetrated deeply into the flesh, although they were not as good as Zhang Tie's arrows, they should not be underestimated.

Hiding behind the carriage, when a wave of arrows rained, Zhang Tie immediately got up and directed three arrows swishing in the direction of the gangster. He didn't care about the aim at all, relying entirely on the magnification effect, and shot out consecutively. three arrows.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was getting closer, and Zhang Tie's proficiency in bow and arrow was not something to be judged. Even without the help of a scope, at such a short distance, coupled with the zoom effect, it was still a matter of pointing to where to shoot.

Facing Zhang Tie's three arrows, the gangster just shot the arrows, but he didn't react at all. He was killed three people immediately, and fell off the horse in an instant. fly out.

You know, Zhang Tie is already a strong bow 15 now, and the bow and arrow will have a 210% bonus. In addition, the longbow itself is a three-stone strong bow. Every attack is almost at the level of a first-class master. If it is a sneak attack , that's even more terrifying.

After shooting three arrows, Zhang Tie squatted down again immediately, and at the same time equipped the small steel shield on his wrist. Just as Zhang Tie squatted down, another rain of arrows fell, but at this time the guards had already hid Got behind the wagon and was unharmed.

Drawing a bow on horseback is completely different from drawing a bow on the ground. Drawing a bow on horseback requires much more than on foot.

First of all, you have to keep your balance on the horse's back. You must use both hands to draw the bow on the horse. In this way, there are no extra hands to control the horse.

This not only requires high physical balance, but also requires certain horse skills and a well-trained horse.

Secondly, when riding and shooting, the horse will always bump and move at high speed. If it does not move, it is not called riding and shooting. It can be called horse foot shooting.

In this way, when sitting on the horse and shooting the bow, not only the movement of others must be considered, but also your own movement.

The step bow does not need so much, just stand on the ground, shoot and shoot, at most it is to run a few steps, shoot an arrow, then run a few steps, and shoot another arrow, the difference between the two is very large.

This is also the reason why Zhang Tie shot three arrows, but the gangsters only shot one arrow.

After the rain of arrows passed again, Zhang Tie got up instantly and shot out an iron arrow that had been prepared long ago.

And the moment Zhang Tie got up, two arrows shot at Zhang Tie who got up.

　Thanks, I am a big boss, Xihubielu’s reward!
