Chapter 131 The Oriole Bird is behind

"Second Master, where are you?" Just as Zhao Jie was thinking about this bizarre incident, the door of the house was suddenly knocked open, and several people rushed in and shouted anxiously.

"Don't shout, we're here!" Zhao Xin said with a lifting the felt covering them. Lin Shuo and others who came in to save the people were stunned when they saw the burning rocket, and turned their faces at the same time.

go!

This scene is so embarrassing. The two of them hid in the corner of the wall, and the prince's hand was wrapped around Zhao Xin's waist. Zhao Xin sat halfway on the prince's lap, and one hand was tightly clutching the prince's neck, and his face was covered by eggs.

Close to his face, if he didn't know that the situation was urgent, it would definitely make people think that it was a "dog man and woman" who were having an affair!

"Extinguish the fire first, you have to lit the house before you can be content!" Zhao Qi and the others hurriedly separated, and he pretended to be calm and said.

"Oh, get water to put out the fire!" Zhang Que and others were relieved when they saw that the prince was fine and ordered someone to get a bucket of water to extinguish the fire.

"Are anyone injured?" The ground was covered with arrows. The caravan's friends were busy extinguishing the ignited goods and appeaseing the frightened animals. Zhao Qi asked.

"Our people are fine. The caravan's post on the beacon tower was shot to death. Two guys went out to check the situation and were injured by arrows. They were not fatal. People have been arranged to treat them, and several pack horses were shot to death.

!”

"Second Master, don't leave the house. Although the enemy in the brigade has retreated, the situation outside is unclear now. We should prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to attack!" Seeing that the prince was about to go out to check the situation, Zhuge Hong hurriedly stopped Zhao Qi and said.

"It's okay, there are no living people within 300 steps around the fort!" At this time, Lu Xiaoyao walked in and said, his face didn't look very good. His veteran was touched by the enemy and had not found it yet. He said that he was embarrassed.

.

"Guard everyone not to leave the fort, be careful and guard against the enemy to return, and wait for dawn to talk about everything!" Zhao Qi pulled out the 'stopper' inserted on the ground, looked carefully in the moonlight, ***, where is it

The gun is thrown, and the tail at the end of the arrow shaft shows its identity as a giant crossbow arrow.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, do you have medicine there? Second Master was caught in a cold and was so burned just now that he was so confused that he kept talking nonsense!" Zhao Xin bowed to Zhang Que and said.

"What?! Second Master is sick. I always have some medicines to bring them here immediately!" Zhang Que was surprised. This was really a disaster. He was already careful, but there was still a problem. The prince got sick again.

If he had a few shortcomings, he would be a great success!

"Ah?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Seeing his face flushed, they thought the prince was nervous. They turned out to be sick and refused to let him leave the house.

"Don't stay here, be careful, just have Zhao Xin take care of me!" After all this tossing, Zhao Qi was sweating all over, and his body felt much more comfortable.

After experiencing this incident, everyone lost their sleepiness. The guard post was re-arranged on the beacon tower. Lin Shuo and several guards dragged two carriages over and crossed the house, so that even if the enemy broke into the door, there was a carriage.

Even if the arrows are stopped, they will not shoot directly into the house. They lowered the side panels of one of the cars, and there was a machine gun inside. In order to prevent accidents on the road, they actually borrowed the machine gun from the machine gun team.

.The other one needs to be said to be the prince's insurance car. The ordinary arrows hidden inside cannot be injured at all. They can be used as a temporary shelter. They cannot be considered intricately, but there is still an accident.

Zhao Xin served the prince and took the medicine that Zhang Que found, then covered the door and helped him lie on the kang to rest, "Second Master, I thanked me for helping you!" He suddenly knelt down on one knee and said.

"Zhao Xin, you are sick too. Do you need to be like me?" His actions shocked Zhao Qi, and hurriedly got off the kang and lifted Zhao Xin up and said in surprise.

"If the Second Master hadn't taken action in time just now, I would have been shot through the giant arrow. I'm really scared to think about it!" Zhao Xin lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes.

"Don't be afraid, didn't you cum?" Zhao Qiong comforted him with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, Second Master, how did you know that an arrow happened to be shot in? Didn't you fall asleep at that time? No, when I blocked the window, Second Master was burning and talking nonsense!" Zhao Xin helped the prince lie down

Next, I thought about it and said.

"I dreamed!" Zhao Qi said, sounding mysterious, but in fact, the keen sixth sense that he had developed in danger for many years reminded him.

"Second Master, you... you are not really a half-immortal body, you can even dream of this!" After several successful predictions in the capital, the prince in the capital was reported to be a half-immortal body and could understand the world's affairs after several strokes.

But Zhao Xin didn't believe it very much, because the prince lived with him every day and was almost inseparable from him, and he did not find anything special about the prince.

"Haha, if I were a half-immortal body, would I still get sick? It's just that I always remain alert in an unsafe environment, and I feel more sensitive than you!" Zhao Qi said with a little amused, "By the way, you're there."

I seem to say to me, "I want to follow you in my next life, but I want to be yours..." What do you want to be mine in my next life?"

"I think the second master is confused, I must have heard it wrong. I haven't said this before!" Zhao Xin heard the prince's question, his face seemed to be on fire, his heart pounding, and he quickly covered it up.

.

"Is it what I heard in my dream?" Zhao Qi also became vague. At this time, the medicine took effect. He felt his eyelids become heavy, and he fell asleep as he thought about it.

"Second Master, I think it would be great if you were an ordinary person, so we could be together for the rest of our lives!" Zhao Xin lay down next to the prince, touched his face, and murmured.

As soon as the next day, Zhao Qi got up. Although his body still had no strength, it was much better than last night. He first checked the scene of yesterday's attack in the fort. The purpose of the attacker was very clear, which was to want his own life.

Because the giant arrows shot in are targeted at the house where they live, two shots into the house, and the rest are inserted into the wall, and they are more than half a foot deep into the rammed earth wall. Only the crossbow can do this.

power.

Then Zhao Qiong went up to the beacon tower and checked the location of the sentry station. He judged that the attacker had sent someone to sneak up on him, first shot the sentry on the beacon tower to death, and then the others entered the range of the bow and arrow and shot into the fort, but let the

What Zhao Qi wondered was how they judged where they lived and how could they accurately shoot the house they lived in through the wall?

"Hmph, what's the rare thing about this? Look at the difference between these rooms?" Lu Xiaoyao saw that Zhao Qi was still thinking, pointing to the row of rooms and said.

"Oh, it seems that we can't be special. This will cause disaster!" Zhao Qi immediately understood at a glance. The windows of the houses where others live are all open in black, and only Zhao Xin, who lives in the room he lives in, hung up to prevent the wind.

The pack workers who often sleep in the wild have a house to shelter from the wind and rain. They generally do not pay attention to these details. Smart attackers judge based on this felt that only those with the highest position will enjoy this treatment.

As for the house he could shoot, Zhao Xiao also understood when he saw several towering trees outside the fort. They first sent people to climb up the tree and found the house he lived in with the moonlight, and then acted as observation posts to direct the archers.

Just shoot arrows. The next question is why the attackers suddenly retreated, and which party sent them?

Zhao Qiong then found the broken bark and trampled branches on a cypress tree forty steps away from the fort, confirming his previous judgment. Then Shang Hu and others found two more three hundred steps away

'Three bow bed crossbow'.

The bed crossbow is a heavy weapon, which relies on the combined force of several bows to shoot an arrow. Large bed crossbows often require dozens of people to pull the bow to open, and the range can reach one mile. It was a long-range weapon at that time, this thing

The arrows used are also very large, called "one gun, three sword arrows", which are penetrating killing weapons. The arrows shot into Zhao Qiong's house are this kind of arrows. In addition, this thing can also be used to attack the city, and the function is to create artificial

The stairs have limited killing, which means nailing big arrows on the enemy's wall in a row, and then the infantry climbs the wall, so this thing is called "Calling Arrow"; there is another daily launch method for bed crossbows, which is to use an iron barrel.

Among them, dozens of small arrows were placed, and the barrel was shot on the string. Because dozens of arrows flew like crows, they were called "Crown Arrow", also known as "Douzi Arrow". Large arrows are usually used when defending.

Zhao Qi carefully checked the two discovered crossbows. The shape is small and equipped with a winch-type winding mechanism, which is easy to carry and quickly wind. He knew that the crossbow was built on the Song State.

Xixia was also manufactured by the Iron and Industrial Institute. The technological content was very high at this time and the price was not expensive. It could not be produced by the people, so it was only equipped with regular troops.

In order to prevent leaks, the crossbow is not allowed to be captured by the enemy. If it cannot break through, these things must be destroyed before retreating. These two crossbows only cut off the bowstring and were not completely destroyed, indicating that the attacker retreated.

In a hurry, the crossbow was carved with the manufacturer's mark on it and was scraped off with a knife, which made Zhao Qi's idea of ​​judging the identity of the attacker from the place of origin.

"Second Master, corpses have been found here!" another search team shouted, and they found seven dead bodies in the grass on the other side.

"Second Master, from the outfit and appearance of these people, they should be Dangxiang people and Tubo people, but their things were searched!" Zhuge Hong reported to Zhao Jie who rushed over.

"Who are these people? They not only act quickly, but also have a very orderly manner. When they evacuated hastily, they did not forget to take away the things from their companions who died in battle!" Zhao Qi looked at the seven neatly arranged corpses in the grass, wearing leather.

A, but it is produced by the people or specially made, and the origin cannot be found in terms of style. The Fan Han and Han dynasties live on the border between Song and Xia. It is very common for Dangxiang people and Tubo people, and it is not certain that they were sent by Xia people.

of.

"I think these dead people are the ones who attacked us, but after they launched the attack, they were attacked by others, which was in line with the old saying "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind"!" Zhuge Hong analyzed and said.

"But even if we are cicadas, who are the mantis and the oriole?" Zhao Qi asked with his chin.
