Chapter 240 Liu Qis Eastern Expedition(1/2)

Although Taishi Ci couldn't see exactly where the enemy behind him was at this moment and how far away it was from him, he could judge the enemy's position based on the enemy's slight sound.

In the past, the "Shesheng Battalion" among the five battalions of the Northern Army in Luoyang was an elite camp composed of people who were good at bows and crossbows. The word "Shesheng" named after it represented the people who used crossbows in this era.

the highest level.

Those who are able to shoot without looking at the sound, just looking for the sound, are called sound shooters.

Taishi Ci, who is good at using bows and crossbows, has now reached this level.

Listening to the sound of horse hooves behind him and the shouts of the chasing cavalry, Taishi Ci held his breath, stabilized his bow, and carefully controlled the rhythm of the mount's bumps. Then in an instant, he loosened the bowstring and flung the arrow.

He screamed and flew out.

I heard a muffled sound dozens of steps behind me, and then there was a sound like someone falling to the ground...

It was a hit with one arrow!

Then the voices shouting to kill behind seemed to pause for a moment, and the shouts of the chasing cavalry seemed to disappear in an instant.

But then, their louder shouts came.

"How dare the thief shoot a hidden arrow!"

"Shoot them!"

"Everyone shoots arrows too! Let's see who has more arrows!"

As a result, the cavalry team on Sun's side began to fire arrows at Taishi Ci and his group who were running ahead.

But it is a pity that the archery skills of those cavalry did not reach the same level as Taishi Ci.

Not to mention them, they were the soldiers in the Shesheng Camp in Luoyang City in the past. The sharp soldiers who could shoot in search of the sound were also a very small minority among the very few.

How could it be so easy to do?

Those arrows were shot in the darkness, but most of them missed, and no one was hit.

The knights who were running with Taishi Ci also imitated Taishi Ci and shot to the rear, but unfortunately, they still didn't hit anything.

It's a pity that the two cavalrymen galloping in the dark night, except for Tai Shici, the rest of them are almost as blind, and their archery relies on blindness...it's fine if they are blinded.

Taishi Ci saw that there were no archery masters among the chasing army, and he felt reassured. He listened carefully again, then bent his bow and arrow, shot out an arrow, and shouted: "Hit!"

As the sound of bowstrings sounded, I heard a man fall off his horse from behind again.

But it was at this time that a bowstring sounded from the pursuer formation at the rear, and then Taishi Ci felt a faint whistling sound in the air heading straight for the back of his head.

As a warrior, his sixth sense prompted him to hurriedly bend down to avoid the crisis behind him.

As soon as his body leaned down, a sharp arrow quickly passed through the position where he had just been.

The underwear on Taishi Ci's back was soaked with cold sweat.

so close!

Among the people pursuing from behind, there were also strong archers!

He took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and focused on the situation.

But I haven’t encountered such an opponent for a long time!

But if Taishi Ci knew who the opponent's archery expert was at this moment, I'm afraid he wouldn't think like this...

In the cavalry at the rear, Sun Jian put down the black bow in his hand, his face was gloomy, and his eagle-like eyes seemed to shine slightly. He was obviously very excited to see the hunter.

Jiangdong tigers are also good at shooting!

Sun Jian put down his bow and arrow, and suddenly shouted loudly to the front: "Those who are good at shooting in front of us, today we are heroes versus heroes. Do you dare to bet on your archery skills with someone? If you win, I will let you go!"

If you lose, I will dismount and be bound, and I will never kill you, how about that?"

While Sun Jian was shouting these words, he had already picked up the iron shield he carried with him in his left hand, preparing to prevent the opponent from incoming arrows. He was afraid that he would be captured with one arrow before he could compete.

There was a faint call from Taishi Ci in front: "How do you plan to compare?"

When Sun Jian saw the other party's response, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He said loudly: "You and I each have an arrow, look for the sound and shoot it. The one who hits the other party first is the winner. How about it? If I hit the arrow, as long as I survive, I will keep my promise!"

What the hell is this? Then if you die, will this bet be in vain?

But Taishi Ci is a smart and cunning figure. In the past, all the governors of Qingzhou were played around by him. How could he let Sun Jian control what happened today?

A cunning trick came to his mind.

After a long while, Sun Jian vaguely heard Taishi Ci's reply: "Tell your subordinates to be silent!"

Sun Jian immediately ordered his soldiers not to shout loudly.

As a result, the only sound left in the field was the sound of horse hooves as the two cavalry teams marched. At this moment, because of the betting agreement between the two sides, the two cavalry teams were not in a hurry to march forward forcefully. The speed of the horses seemed to be quite slow.

Not much, just keep a certain distance from each other while controlling the speed.

Sun Jian heard Tai Shici in front shout loudly: "A certain family is here, waiting for your first arrow!"

Under the influence of only the sound of horse hooves, Taishi Ci's call was particularly clear in the darkness. After hearing the sound, Sun Jian immediately bent his bow and nocked an arrow, quickly shot out an arrow, and at the same time praised: "What a courage!"

His arrow rushed towards the location of Taishi Ci's voice like a shooting star...

After shooting, Sun Jian narrowed his eyes and listened carefully, but he didn't know whether he had hit the opponent or not.

After a while, I suddenly heard Tai Shici's voice: "This arrow is a pity, please accept one from me!"

Sun Jian sighed regretfully, then straightened up and shouted to the cavalry in front: "Sun is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Jian felt an arrow whizzing through the air from the right side of his body. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the sharp arrow had already been shot.

The opponent's attack speed was really too fast.

But although the arrow came quickly, Sun Jian was not slow to dodge. He tilted sharply to the left, allowing the sharp arrow to fly past the right side of where his body was just now.

But just when Sun Jian thought he had escaped the opponent's arrow attack, a sudden change occurred!

Another sharp arrow shot quickly towards Sun Jian's location!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sun Jian was startled when he heard the roar of arrows cutting through the air in front of him, and subconsciously exclaimed: "Arrow left and right?!"

In panic, he hurriedly moved his body back to its original position.

However, because these two movements were continuous, and the movement speed was too fast and the amplitude was too large, his center of gravity on the war horse was unstable, and he actually stumbled backward, and he was in danger of falling from the war horse.

However, Sun Jian did not completely fall backwards. He still held on to the horse's reins tightly. While being dragged by the horse, he yelled "Hush~! Hush!"

The cavalrymen not far from Sun Jian were anxious.

"The prince is about to fall!"

"Stop chasing!"

"Stand on horseback, be careful to step on the king!"

"Stop it!"

Shouting loudly, the knights of the Sun family who were chasing Taishi Ci stationed their horses one after another, fearing that they would accidentally trample on the fallen Sun Jian.

They stayed where they were, reining in their horses, trying not to let them make unnecessary movements, and then called out to ask about Sun Jian's condition.

However, Sun Jian was not an ordinary person. After he lost his balance, he held on to the reins tightly. The moment he was about to be thrown off by the war horse, he tightened the reins and pinched the horse's buttocks tightly. However, he relied on his brute force and riding skills.

Shu turned his body back onto the horse again.

Taking advantage of the panic caused by Sun Jian's army, Taishi Ci then urged his cavalry to gallop away quickly towards the distance.

"Father!"

Sun Ce, who was at the rear of the cavalry, hurriedly rode to Sun Jian's side and asked in surprise: "Father, are you okay?"

Sun Jian shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter... Hehe, who would have thought that the little thief on the other side who is good at archery would be so cunning and good at shooting left and right bows, and my father almost fell into his trap."

Sun Ce was surprised and said: "Arrow the bow left and right? No wonder my father would do what he planned!"

Taishi Ci just shot two arrows... If under normal circumstances, he would have shot ten arrows in a row. Sun Jian would not have lost his balance due to avoiding the arrows and fell off his horse if he was well prepared.

The key is that Taishi Ci's two arrows were shot from two angles using the "left and right bow" technique!

Normal people usually practice one kind of archery movement, either holding the bow with their left hand and pulling the string with their right hand, or holding the bow with their right hand and pulling the string with their left hand.

This is just like when people write, most people usually write with their right hand, but if you ask them to write with their left hand, although they can write well, most people's writing will be crooked and ugly.

Unless you have really worked hard and gone through systematic training.

When immediately twisting the body and holding the bow with the left hand, the shooter's general shooting range is basically on the left side of the body. If he aims to the right, he will not be able to twist his waist.

When Sun Jian just dodged the first arrow, he had already moved his body as far as possible to the blind spot where the opponent could shoot the arrow when he was twisting his body on the war horse. But who would have thought that the opponent would immediately change his hand to pull the bow string and shoot another arrow at the place where he was avoiding.

As a result, he was in a hurry, turned around hastily, and almost fell off his horse.

Although it is difficult to learn how to shoot the left and right bows, it is not difficult for people who have lived in the western states and northern border counties of the Han Dynasty for a long time, because local riders have to deal with Hu and Qiang people all year round. Over time, most people in the border counties have become proficient.

This technique.

Dong Zhuo is an expert in shooting left and right bows!

Taishi Ci took refuge in Liaodong for four years. This skill of shooting left and right bows was practiced and polished during these four years.

Sun Ce gritted his teeth angrily and said: "The thief is so despicable that he dares to plot against my father! Father, let's catch up and kill this thief."
