Chapter 35: Changing Bows and Horses
When the two were discussing the details of using troops on the hill, a sharp bone whistle suddenly sounded in the distance.
He Ran was suddenly shocked when he heard this. This was a special way of communication among the disciples of Zangxian Valley. The whistle conveyed a signal to warn for help. The sound came from behind the mountain. There should never be enemy troops there. This whistle
It's so strange.
King Fan didn't pay attention to the faint whistle, and he couldn't help being surprised when he saw the sudden change in He Ran's expression. In his opinion, this military advisor of the Yi State was always so calm and composed, and it was hard to imagine that anything would make him panic.
"What's wrong?" King Fan also became nervous.
He Ran hurriedly rode towards the hill, turned around and said, "Follow me, something happened." After saying that, he whipped and galloped away.
Xi Qun led two hundred Zangxian Valley disciples to guard at the foot of the hill. Hearing the whistle, he blew the bone whistle without hesitation in response. When the military advisor arrived, all the guards were already lined up.
He Ran led his guards and headed straight towards the direction where the whistle sounded. King Fan was puzzled and led his guards in hot pursuit.
After turning around a mountain col, in front of them was the grassland behind the mountain. He Ran saw that Xu Fan's soldiers were gathering towards one place. The Yi army guarding the mountain on one side waved their flags and were mobilizing their troops. A team of 500 people had already rushed to the mountain.
The formation has been set, which means that the large group of people on the mountain are about to rush down. Most of the generals in the Yi army coming to the prairie are descendants of the Zangxian Valley. When they hear the bone whistle, they will naturally go to rescue their brothers.
He Ran guessed that there was probably a conflict between his own people and the Fan soldiers. At this time, the sound of bone whistles had spread far and wide, one after another in the valley. If the Yi troops stationed everywhere mobilized, it would probably make the situation difficult.
To control the situation, he hurriedly ordered Xi Qun to use a bone whistle to order all ministries to stay on guard.
Xi Qun first blew three rapid short tones, then two long and one short. The three short tones represented the military advisor's order, while the two short and one long tones meant standing alert. The nearby hills immediately responded with whistles. He Ran did not dare to be careless.
After King Fan caught up with him, he rode with him toward the commotion.
When King Fan heard the whistles everywhere, he already understood that this was Yi Jun's message. Naturally, he also guessed that there might be a conflict between the two sides. He hurriedly ordered people to use horns to send orders to all the troops to stand by. Bone whistles and horns sounded one after another to order the troops stationed on both sides.
The soldiers further away became nervous.
Following the sound of the horn, the soldiers who were rushing towards the accident site from all directions immediately stopped, and He Ran felt relieved.
There were nearly a thousand soldiers outside the place where the incident occurred, and He Ran's two hundred personal guards inside. They all held knives in their hands and reined in their horses to form a circle. Surrounded by Yun Ye in the middle.
Yun Ye was originally practicing riding and archery with two hundred people. There happened to be a big eagle hovering in the sky. He was so proud of his soul-shooting bow that his hands were itching. When he saw it, he immediately opened his bow and shot. The big eagle fell down in response, and everyone was shocked.
Applauded, many nearby soldiers also saw this scene, shooting arrows at the giant eagle soaring two to three hundred battles high in the sky. Such a superb shooting ability made these men who are famous for their mounted archery stunned.
Yunye led people to find the big eagle that was shot down. He didn't care about the eagle. He mainly wanted to find the sharp arrow. The arrows he brought with the bow only had three dendrobiums. It was difficult for ordinary arrows to shoot well.
Because of the power of the Soul Bow, Yun Ye cherishes these three sharp arrows very much, and must retrieve those that can be retrieved.
This camp is stationed by King Fan's Guards. The big eagle has been sent to Bayan'er, the leader of the Guards. This Bayan'er is known as the first warrior in the grassland. Knowing that Yun Ye has brought people to find prey is not only unsatisfactory.
To return the prey, Yun Ye also asked to confiscate Yun Ye's soul-shooting bow, but Yun Ye naturally refused to agree. He then wanted to capture these people for trespassing into the camp.
Yun Ye explained in every possible way that Bayan'er just refused to be accommodating and attacked Yun Ye personally, using all his deadly moves with swords. Yun Ye didn't want to make the matter a big deal and tried his best to avoid the moves. Several of Bayan'er's men blocked him.
Yunye's retreat made it impossible for him to avoid it. Now the two hundred Zangxiangu disciples gave up and immediately formed a formation to protect Yunye and whistled for help. When he heard the whistle in the distance to answer, Bayaner did not dare for a moment.
The troops were ordered to attack by force, and the two sides confronted each other.
After asking what had happened, King Fan scolded Bazar sharply. He Ran could tell from the scolding sentences of King Fan translated by Wan Jin and his demeanor that Bayaner was King Fan's favorite general. He also scolded Yunye:
: "You just show off your skills after getting Zhang Po Gong, and you almost get into trouble! How can you be in such a big position?!"
Yun Ye was speechless after being scolded and lowered his head in disbelief.
He Ran frowned and stared, lowering his voice and said: "He is just greedy for this bow, just give it to him. It seems that this is King Fan's favorite general, and it is not appropriate to form a grudge with him at this time.
Yun Ye's heart trembled when he heard this, and he begged: "Second brother, please keep this bow for me."
He Ran said displeasedly: "Looking at your achievements, Master Yuan Yin has become Dongfang Ao's father-in-law, so what's the difficulty in asking him to make a good bow for you?"
Yun Ye really wanted to tell him that such a good bow could not be made within two or three years, nor could it be made just by thinking about it. This was related to Master Yuanyin's state of mind, skills, materials and many other factors. It could be said to be a matter of chance.
Master Yuan Yin can only master the magic bow by coincidence. He swallowed these words hard. Although he was reluctant to part with this shooting soul, he was a person who understood the importance of importance, and he really understood these things.
Saying this would only make the second brother look down on him, so he nodded obediently.
When King Fan saw He Ran coming over, he scolded him even louder and ordered Bayan'er to be whipped ten times.
He Ran stopped him with a smile: "Why would the king be so angry over a trivial matter? Besides, it's not his fault. It's my subordinates who acted too recklessly. Let's just let this matter go."
King Fan got off his donkey along the slope and scolded Bayan'er: "If the military advisor hadn't interceded for you, I would never have spared you. Why don't you thank the military advisor quickly!"
Bayan'er reluctantly walked up to He Ran and wanted to salute, but He Ran held him back and said, "No, I heard that you are the first warrior on the grassland. I would like to see your skills. Look, there is a big one over there."
Eagle, shoot it down for me."
Bayan'er glanced into the air and said: "It's not difficult to shoot the eagle, but I don't have a good bow like General Yun. I have to make it fly lower before I can shoot. Please wait a moment, military advisor." After saying that, he ordered his men to lure the eagle.
He Ran winked at Yun Ye, and Yun Ye handed the soul-shooting bow to Bayan'er and said, "General, please take it and use it."
King Fan had already seen the big eagle that was shot down. He saw that the sharp arrow was unusual, and he was also curious about the bow. At this time, he stretched out his hand to take it. After a closer look, he couldn't help being surprised, and said to Yunye: "
Is this the world-famous soul-shooting bow?"
Yun Ye bowed and replied: "Exactly!"
Fan people's favorite thing is a good horse bow. When the generals heard that it was a soul-shooting bow, they crowded over to watch it, and they all looked envious.
King Fan handed the soul-shooting bow to Bayan'er and said, "Don't embarrass me."
Bayan'er took the bow and looked at it again and again with admiration. Yunye handed over another bunch of sharp arrows. Bayan'er only took three of them, and then galloped towards the place where the big eagle was circling.
