Naruto Puppet Master

Just when Ouyang Ke was thinking about someone, a group of camel cavalry full of murderous spirit had bypassed Hei Da's forward army and secretly lurked here.

"General, the wind is dead." In the dark and cold desert, under a large leeward sand dune, there were densely packed sandbag tents everywhere. One of them, an ordinary tent that was no different from other tents and sandbags, was suddenly pulled open by a black shadow.

In the dark tent, with the help of the red light from the weak charcoal fire, a sergeant reported respectfully to a tall man wearing heavy armor sitting in the seat.

"Is he dead? Did he just delay us for three days? What a pity." The tall man's appearance cannot be seen clearly, but his rough and powerful figure and his tall frame can make people believe that he is powerful. .

"Go down and rest! We have to march in a hurry tomorrow!" the general ordered.

Xue Sha, or Yelu Jinshi, is the name of this man. He is not only one of the three famous bandits in the Western Regions, he is actually a bloodline of the Western Liao royal family. However, after his father failed to fight for the throne, he naturally had no choice but to Became a rebel in exile.

Under the cover of some veterans of the central government, he was still young after the political failure and was able to survive anonymously in the Western Regions. Of course, no matter whether he was willing to pay the price, he could never use the surname Yelu, otherwise he would be called Yelu. Those veterans and nobles who helped him in the first place would not agree.

In the first dozen years after arriving in the Western Regions, he received the secret care of those veterans, and also received part of the power deployed by his father in the Western Regions. Finally, he became one of the three major bandits in the Western Regions.

Of course, with the passage of time, as he grew up, he also lost the help of those veterans and nobles. The relationship between the two parties has become more of a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. After all, love will eventually be used up. , to be cared for for more than ten years is already a big deal in the face of his dead father.

It's okay if you don't know, but people's desires are endless, especially in a chaotic and desire-provoking place like the Western Region. Yelv Jinshi, who lives in the name of bloodshed, is not willing to be a robber for the rest of his life.

And the longer time passed, the stronger his inner peeping at the king became. However, he had never had this possibility and opportunity before. Even now, there is a huge rift between the prince consort and the king in Xiliao, and the throne has changed. It's possible that those old diehards didn't want him to return to China in a fair and just way.

Yelu Jinshi knew that it was because those veterans and nobles felt that the current King of Liao had heirs who could inherit the throne. As long as the King of Liao's political struggle was victorious, there would be no need for his exile's participation.

After all, he has lived outside for more than 20 years. Those veterans don't know him now. They only know that he is one of the three major bandits in the Western Regions. Therefore, even if the King of Liao really fails, the princes of the same clan as the King of Liao will not. Young Master, after dealing with the foreign prince-in-law, it will not be his turn, the bandit leader who has been in exile in the Western Region for many years, to return to inherit the throne.

"It's just that you guys are on guard against me, fearing that your ignorance of the rules will harm your interests. Aren't you worried that you can't handle that ambitious prince-in-law?" Yelu Jinshi sneered in his heart.

"Ha, do you really think that the nobles' tricks will be useful in front of the army? If that guy didn't want to gain some fame and didn't want to get a broken Liao Kingdom, he had already controlled nearly half of the Liao Kingdom's military strength. Take action."

Thinking of the ambitious guy he met secretly last year, Yelu Jinshi felt powerless.

It is impossible for Yelu Jinshi, who has only two thousand bandit-like troops under his command, to compete with the opponent without obtaining the title of Liao noble.

"Fortunately, God spared me and gave me the opportunity to conquer the Western Region at this time." Yelu Jinshi thought excitedly.

"Baituo Mountain, let him continue to fight! After you take over half of the Western Region, I will be able to attack Huanglong directly. After directly intercepting and killing the leader of Baituo Mountain, I will use the fierce power when the time comes. Most of the Western Region is expected to be directly shocked."

Thinking of his plan, Yelu Jinshi once again said to himself excitedly: "If I win this time, in less than three years I will be able to gather [-] elites and over [-] miscellaneous soldiers in the Western Region. This will definitely be a force that can control the situation." The power of the Liao Kingdom after the split."

"Let's see who dares not to recognize my name, Yelu Jinshi."

For ten days, for ten consecutive days, the Northwest Road without strong obstruction first opened up the meeting point from Baituo Mountain to the central part of the Western Region, and then immediately led the army non-stop to the direction of Hei Er on the Southwest Road. It wouldn't take long. I'm afraid that they will form a pincer attack with Hei Er. Unless Heifeng thief flees immediately, he will be dead.

However, just when the overall situation was decided, there was no trace of the long-secret bloody murder. Until even Ouyang Ke himself thought that the other party had left the Western Regions and planned to find another way to make a living, it suddenly appeared in Ouyang Ke's eyes. In front of Ke's eyes.

"Damn it, are all the scouts blind? Are all the ghost-faced troops in front of us dead?"

"A full 2000 cavalrymen appeared right in front of my eyes." On the tall white camel, Ouyang Ke's fat face was completely red.

"Damn it, why don't you hurry up and make arrangements." Gao Gao looked at the black cavalry in the distance who were adjusting the strength of the camel team and approaching slowly. Ouyang Ke knew that he didn't have much time to prepare.

Even if he hadn't habitually deployed enough horse-drawn defense lines around the camp, he might have been greeted by a direct surprise attack from the other side this morning.

"General, they are preparing." Among the black camel cavalry, the deputy said to the leader Yelu Jinshi.

"I know, but this was an unexpected collision. We were discovered by their scouts first, so we had to gather together urgently to check the situation. But now it seems that not only have we found the target, but the situation is still in our favor." Yelu Jinshi He said, "Let brothers eat three mouthfuls of dried meat and drink water first, but there is no need to eat more."

"Yes." The deputy then took a few steps back and gave the order to the people around him.

In fact, just when Ouyang Ke was angry, Yelu Jinshi was not very satisfied either. Due to the surveillance of the Ghost Face Army, the intelligence network Yelu Jinshi developed from his father's inheritance had also become intermittent three days ago. of.

Without enough accurate intelligence support, and the fact that Yelu Jinshi's army did not dare to approach the urban oasis and instead sneaked in the vast desert, it had long since become a blind man with only approximate location targets.

Otherwise, last night or early in the morning, Yelu Jinshi would definitely launch a strong attack on the enemy troops less than ten miles away from him, even if the bad cold weather would make his own

The loss would be greater, but it might result in a fatal outcome for the ragtag group of 5000 people in front of them.

"What a pity." Looking at the camp that was moving urgently, Yelu Jinshi sighed.

A quarter of an hour later, Ouyang Ke, who was blocked from the sun by a giant umbrella, stood on a temporary high platform and looked down at the black cavalry in the distance who had entered charging distance.

At this moment, Ouyang Ke's face no longer had the previous irritability and anger, but was replaced by a calm temperament and a touch of excitement in his eyes.

"Although I have seen a lot of big scenes in my memory, I cherished my life in my previous life and always avoided things that were really life-threatening. This is really the first time I have to face a battlefield command directly!" Ouyang Ke thought with a little excitement in his heart .

Although Ouyang Ke was not worried about his lack of experience, but adhering to his cautious instinct, Ouyang Ke was well prepared for this trip. He was confident that as long as he did not mess up the position, he would only suffer losses at most. How big a problem it is, not to mention life-threatening, even the possibility of failure will not happen at all.

Since you won't die anyway, or even get hurt, then there's nothing to worry about.

"Archers, prepare." Ouyang Ke shouted calmly.

"Throwing."

The next moment, a dark rain of arrows followed Ouyang Ke's order and rose from the simple protection composed of camel carts and carriages, and "swish, swish" towards the oncoming cavalry.

"Impossible." Yelu Jinshi, who had already charged, shouted in disbelief.

It is almost an inevitable normal phenomenon for cavalry to charge head-on and be attacked by infantry arrows. The only difference is whether the arrows are dense enough, how far the range is, and how many waves of arrows can be fired before the cavalry charges close.

"It's just that it shouldn't be this far away anyway. How can it be so strong!"

"Three hundred steps, at least three hundred steps away. How could there be so many archers who can shoot arrows three hundred steps away." Yelu Jinshi cut off an arrow that was flying towards him and looked at it in disbelief. Watching his subordinates who fell to the ground screaming after being shot repeatedly.

"Ahhhhh..."

As the arrows rained down, screams continued to be heard from the charging cavalry and camels.

The cruel reality made Yelu Jinshi no longer have the intention to investigate why the enemy could shoot so far.

"Charge." Under the unimaginable long-range attack, Yelu Jinshi only paused for a moment, and then took the lead and continued to charge towards the enemy without hesitation.

The cavalry following him were initially at a loss due to the sudden blow. When Yelu Jinshi, the leader, charged, they followed him subconsciously.

"The first team rests while preparing plan number two." Ouyang Ke continued to order: "The second team prepares."

Following Ouyang Ke's order, the next moment the three rows of soldiers operating large bows behind the wooden carriage immediately put down their weapons and began to play with pots of earthenware pots on the spot.

The Sanhe Archery Team is one of the killing troops specially trained by Ouyang Ke for war. Its principle is similar to the humanoid crossbow. It relies on the combined efforts of three people to cooperate with the training to make each team of three people form a powerful crossbow.And it's a crossbow with an extremely long range.

As the far superior attacker in military warfare in the cold weapon era, archers' power is very terrifying on the battlefield. In many cases, they play a very powerful role, but their range and power are extremely limited due to manpower. This has greatly restricted the development of this arm, making it only an auxiliary arm although it is still important.

Its upgraded and evolved crossbow represents people's power in its long-range attack method.

Apart from short range and troublesome reloading, the powerful crossbow is equivalent to a large-sized sniper rifle in the cold weapon era. If there is no range limit, it will be even more terrifying.

The most famous one is undoubtedly the crossbow formation army that strengthened the Qin Dynasty during the pre-Qin period.Once on the battlefield, when encountering the enemy, first use crossbows to launch a hail of arrows to wash the ground, and then use a powerful and dense infantry square to push them forward. In conjunction with a combat style that is fearless of death, its tactics are simple and crude in the extreme, but it is also impressive. Also nowhere to start.

Basically, they are not an elite force with a death wish and a heavy shield protection army. A wave of arrows will definitely make you doubt your life.

But apart from this, for hundreds of thousands of years, with the loss of Qin's crossbow craftsmanship, except for the light cavalry's mounted archery, which is still a specialty of archery, there is no longer any battle that can completely rely on archers to solve the problem, and even even Not even the main force.

Although Ouyang Ke couldn't study a long-range and powerful crossbow unit, after all, although the world was different, the basic physical rules were still the same.

After some research, Ouyang Ke gave up the option of forming a strong crossbow unit because it was too expensive. The cost of making a strong crossbow and subsequent maintenance costs were too high. It was so high that he owned the major merchants in the Western Regions. Ouyang Ke, who collected protection fees on the road, had no choice but to give up.

Therefore, the Sanhe Archery Troop was derived. One person kneels forward and holds the bow handle with both hands, one person steps on the former's descendant, holds the arrow and pulls the bowstring with all his strength, and the third person helps to aim the arrow. These three people were originally just ordinary people. After a period of cooperative training, people can basically draw a one-stone long bow in combat. (The more it takes thirty kilograms of force to fully draw a one-stone strong bow), at the limit, they can even draw a three-stone strong bow twice. and aim exchange once each).

And after special training in bow and arrow arm strength, this ratio will increase. Of course, in this case, no matter how you train, unless the three people are in harmony, it is absolutely impossible to be a sharp archer and can only be used as a large-scale army Rain of arrows is used to cleanse the ground.

And if you want to become an archery team that can use the nine-stone bow as a weapon to shoot a distance of 400 meters and still have fatal damage, you must practice martial arts, and it is a hard skill that can enhance arm strength.

For this reason, Ouyang Ke specially adapted the first five levels of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu and changed it into the Divine Arm Kung Fu, which is specifically designed to enhance the strength of the upper body limbs. This not only retains the strength-enhancing properties, but also speeds up the practice.

Of course, because I don’t care most about the future, if I practice this technique, I won’t go crazy and lose my life, but I also won’t have much future in the martial arts. I just want to be a magic archer. The only way out from now on.

Back to business, just when the first team of archers squatted down to prepare the clay pots in their hands, and when the camel team that flew up at the same time continued to charge towards Ouyang Ke after leaving two to three hundred corpses behind, The second wave of arrow rain rose again.
