In the chaotic battlefield outside the city of Upper Valley, the shouts and cries of killing were all in one.

Woohoo......

Five sharp arrows flew out of the chaotic group of rebels around them at lightning speed, and then enveloped Lin Sha's vital points with an indomitable momentum.

Before he could get there, the fierce wind wrapped in the strong arrow had already pierced Lin Sha's exposed skin with faint pain.

"Thieves are so daring!"

With a pull of the longbow in his hand, a strong wind rolled around his body, and five crisp sounds of gold and iron sounded, and the five huge forces transmitted by the bow also made his body on the horse shake a few times.

Glancing at the five sharp arrows that fell around the horse under the seat, his face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he suddenly turned his head and looked as cold as a knife, and instantly stared at Wang Xuba, who turned around and wanted to escape, and a thunderous roar sounded in his ears: "Wang Xuba is leaving, take your life!" ”

As he spoke, the longbow made of stainless steel in his hand turned over in the air, and at some point a special long arrow about five feet long had been placed on the wire bowstring, and the bow was full moon with an exhalation.

Collapse!

The long arrow was like a meteor catching the moon, disappearing in an instant, leaving only a faint shadow in the air.

The big bow was pulled and ignored the sharp arrows that were shot, and shot five arrows in a row according to the induction just now, and turned the horse's head around and left without looking at the result.

Wang Xuba's rebels were so strange that even the crossbow appeared, Lin Sha had too many doubts and incomprehensions in his heart, so he was naturally a little cautious.

A group of thieves who have just put down their farm tools are just a group of thieves, and they don't need him to take care of them himself. He only needs to pay attention to the masters in the group of thieves and give a sharp blow at any time.

……

The battle ended quickly, and Wang had to pull out tens of thousands of rebels. Under the impact of the three thousand Youzhou Iron Cavalry, it collapsed, and less than thirty percent of them could escape with their whole body. The rest of the living either slipped away directly by touching the oil on the soles of their feet, or became captives of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry. That's nearly 20,000!

And the number of non-mouths killed and wounded in the battle is not even 5,000, which shows the low combat power and will to fight of the thieves.

To the regret of Lin Sha and his subordinate generals, Wang Xuba escaped without finding his body, and no traces of the existence of the crossbow were found.

cleaned up the battlefield well, and notified the Shanggu local government to send a government servant Minzhuang to take over, but Lin Sha did not mean to beat the water dogs, and directly rejected the proposal of the second general Wang to ask for war.

"General, why?"

It's like pouring cold water on your head. The guards led by Wang Er were stunned and asked a little unclear.

"Just now, on the battlefield, a certain crossbow sneak attack!"

They are all their own confidants, and Lin Sha has nothing to hide, so he directly recounted what happened on the battlefield just now.

"What crossbow?"

Wang Er and the others were shocked, and hurriedly looked Lin Sha up and down and found that there was no problem, so they breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his senses, he said angrily: "What's going on, how can those thieves have crossbows in their hands?" ”

You must know that the crossbow is powerful. It is a weapon that ordinary soldiers can rely on to directly harm the master of the grandmaster, and it has always been an important military material strictly controlled by the Great Sui.

The troops equipped with crossbows, except for the Sui Emperor's personal guards, only the important border checkpoints have only a dozen or so. It is also subject to strict regulation from the royal side.

It was Lin Sha's Youzhou army, because of the previous three expeditions to Goguryeo, but it was only equipped with hundreds of military crossbows. When Yang Guang left with the main force of the Sui army, he took half of it with him, which shows the importance that the royal family attaches to this kind of mass murder.

But who would have thought. In the hands of a group of rebels in Hebei, such a big killing weapon was discovered!

Since the king mustang raised the banner and rebelled. It is true that a few county towns have been broken, and a lot of good things have been obtained from the local garrison mansions, but Hebei is not a border area, and the army is not equipped with crossbows at all, right?

Now the problem is serious, where did the crossbow in the hands of the rebels come from?

"Hehe, it seems that the situation of Wang Xuba's bandit department is not as simple as we thought at the beginning!"

Lin Sha's face was cold and sneered, he shook his head to stop the words of the guard general, and ordered in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to speak, let's wait until we return to the city before we discuss!" ”

……

The three thousand iron cavalry in Youzhou, after the great victory over Wang Suba's bandits, surprisingly did not continue to expand the results of the battle, or to find trouble with another bandit led by Wei Dao'er, but directly stayed in Shanggu and put on a posture of resting and recuperating.

Lin Sha's actions not only made Wei Dao'er's thieves confused, but even Wang Xuba, who had just escaped with his life and was seriously injured, was also confused, not to mention the local government in Hebei, and he didn't know what Lin Sha wanted to do.

There is even that impure guy, suspecting that Lin Sha is waiting for the price to be estimated, and he is ready to knock a hard sum from the Hebei government.

After all, the three thousand Youzhou Iron Cavalry have shown enough strength, and they completely crippled Wang Xuba's bandits in just one battle, and now the seriously injured Wang Xuba has taken a group of remnants of the defeated generals and still doesn't know which knots to hide in which corner of the pimple.

In this way, the strength of Wei Dao'er, which is not even as strong as Wang Xuba's, will definitely not end up much better against the three thousand Youzhou iron cavalry led by Shang Lin Sha.

But just when the situation was good, Lin Sha suddenly stood still, and it was difficult not to arouse suspicion.

……

Shanggu, the temporary garrison of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, the main account of the Chinese army.

"General, there are more and more people out there to inquire about the news, and the brothers are almost overwhelmed!"

On this day, Lin Sha leisurely walked around the camp, and his three thousand brothers were satisfied with the performance of honest and hard training.

"Why, you are not afraid of the enemy's swords and guns, but you are also afraid of the temptation of outsiders?"

Lin Sha casually found a chair and sat down, and when he saw Wang Er's depressed face, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's a pity that they're not enemies, and you can't treat them with the same way you treat enemies, right?"

Wang Er smiled bitterly, and secretly pinched Lin Sha out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw that he was not angry, he relaxed his mood, and asked cautiously: "General, I don't know what the people sent out have found out during this period of time?" ”

After defeating Wang Suba on the same day, 3,000 Youzhou iron cavalry were stationed in the Sui army camp outside Shanggu City as a temporary camp.

At the same time, Lin Sha secretly sent an elite scout to leave quietly and disperse to inquire about the situation, and there was no news back during this time, and Wang Erzhen was a little anxious.

"There's news coming back!"

Speaking of this, Lin Sha put away the relaxed expression on his face, his expression gradually condensed and solemn, and even the atmosphere of the empty main tent of the Chinese army also became solemn, Wang Er held his breath and looked serious, and straightened his ears to hear what news the scouts had found?

Because of the occurrence of military crossbows on the battlefield, the hearts of the three thousand Youzhou Iron Cavalry generals were heavy, as Lin Sha said at the beginning, this situation was very unusual.

Secretly, through special channels in the army, General Lin Sha has secretly reported the situation in Chang'an, and at the same time quietly asked several major border fortresses near Youzhou, have there been any military crossbows missing?

The news that can be fed back makes the guards even more confused, there is no loss of military crossbows in the towns of Biansai, and Chang'an's reaction is even more intriguing, just like a stone falling into a pond There is no big reaction at all, as if they did not report it.

Every now and then, General Lin Sha chuckled indifferently, looking thoughtful, which made Wang Er's and other guards itch so much, but they didn't know what was going on?

At this time, he heard that the general said that the news of the scouts sent had returned, and he didn't care why he was kept in the dark, and looked over with a look of hope for an accurate answer.

"The five surnames and seven wangs are in Hebei, but their families and industries have not been affected by the war at all!"

Looking at Wang Er, who was full of inquiry, Lin Sha said coldly.

"Won't it?"

Wang Er's face was surprised, and he asked a little incredulously: "Could it be that the general sent several waves of elite scouts to see the industries and houses of the five surnamed Qiwang in Hebei?" ”

"And what do you think so-and-so will do?"

Lin Sha glanced at this guy angrily, and sneered: "We are not familiar with Hebei, and the situation is even more chaotic due to the frequent wars, what useful information can a group of Youzhou men find?" ”

"But general, you don't need to stare at the five surnames and seven families, right?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Wang Er's forehead, and he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand: "These are all real ground snakes, and the whole Hebei will tremble if you stomp your feet, so we don't need to heat them up early?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Sha with a sad face, hoping that the general would listen to this advice.

"If it's not necessary, I don't want to go against these powerful families!"

Rolling his eyes, Lin Sha looked angry, and said in a slow voice: "But what if people don't give this mud leg this face?" ”

"No, there's no conflict between us and them at all!"

Wang Er was confused, and asked a little stupidly.

"Is there really no conflict?"

Lin Sha's eyes were as cold as a knife, and his tone was gloomy and cold: "Where did you get the crossbow in Wang Suba's army?" ”

"No, General, do you suspect that the crossbows in the bandit army were secretly provided by those clans?"

Wang Er's eyes widened, his face was incredulous, and his voice couldn't help but be a little louder.

"What's not going to be?"

Lin Sha sneered, his eyes full of murderous intent and ridiculed: "In addition to them, there is also the Youzhou Army, what other force has such a big deal to support the bandits' five powerful crossbows?" ”

Seeing that Wang Er was still full of surprise and disbelief, he didn't want to be angry and said: "Besides, Wang Xutu raised the flag to rebel, and the first person to deal with should be the local clan and the government!" ”

"But Wang Er, how do you see the final result?"

Lin Sha waved his big hand and his face was gloomy, and he sneered: "The officials and people in various places have fallen into bad luck, but those five surnamed Qiwang clans in Hebei still live a stable life, isn't it doubtful?" (To be continued.) )
