Enemy attack on camp discovered.
There wasn't enough time to gather troops.
Unless the entire army remains on high alert.
Of course this is impossible.
For someone with exceptional archery skills,
Shooting a hundred people is indeed not difficult.
The difficulty lies in the fact that such opportunities are not usually available.
Although the Western Xia and the Northern Song were enemies in the past,
But it was a period of both war and peace.
In peacetime,
Provoking conflict on the border is undoubtedly a grave offense.
During wartime,
It's also almost impossible for them to fight alone.
The fighting between the two sides almost entirely revolved around treacherous terrain and border fortresses.
Before you know it, you've fallen into an ambush.
Xingqing Prefecture, however, is located on the Yinchuan Plain.
The land outside the city is flat and open.
No matter how they encircle them,
There will be enough gaps for the three of them to escape.
There are no safety issues.
It's only a matter of time before we hunt down a hundred people.
"A viscountship cannot be easily conferred."
Just as Liu Qi was feeling somewhat disappointed,
Zhao Yuan then said,
"If you can hunt down five hundred people,"
"I can give you a viscountship."
Although it is easy for military generals to hunt down soldiers.
However, they cannot fire indefinitely.
Especially since they all used powerful bows.
At most, the bow can be drawn a little over a hundred times a day.
However, Liu Qi and his two companions were not without hope.
Zhong Shidao's army had just entered Huaide Army from Zhenrong Army at this time.
They had not yet entered the territory of Western Xia.
It will take another four or five days to reach Xingqing Prefecture.
As long as Renli does not withdraw his troops.
They have hope.
Liu Qi and the other two discussed it.
He then went to prepare arrows and warhorses.
Zhang Qing heard that he could be granted a noble title.
I was also somewhat tempted.
"I've also made arrangements for the city's defenses,"
"Let's go out of town and have some fun with them."
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "You are now at least a founding earl."
"It's no use hunting soldiers to try and get a higher rank."
"Besides, you're a general going out to chase after a common soldier,"
"That's a bit of a frivolous pursuit."
Chapter 1902 Unimpeded Journey
Zhang Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty is right, then forget it."
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "This city gate is open for them to come and go."
"These days, the people in the city have had to go out to chop firewood and so on."
“These tasks are assigned to specific individuals,”
"Make sure the soldiers get to know everyone who leaves the city,"
"To prevent spies from infiltrating the Western Xia."
Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured."
"Just find some Han Chinese to do it,"
"They can also take this opportunity to make a fortune."
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "We mustn't let them inflate prices."
"But it's okay to let them earn some hard-earned money."
I chatted with Zhang Qing for a few minutes.
Zhao Yuan then led Sun Li to continue inspecting the other three gates.
Soon, Han Shizhong and his two companions left the city.
One person and three horses
Each horse carried a powerful bow and three quiver of arrows.
The Western Xia scouts then began to suffer.
The Western Xia troops had already witnessed the three men's martial arts skills.
But I haven't yet witnessed the three-person archery skills.
Some scouts, who considered themselves skilled in horsemanship and archery, even approached the three of them.
But soon no one dared to approach the three of them alone.
Instead, they gathered dozens of people to surround and kill the three.
Dozens of people surrounded and killed three people.
The three of them did not retreat.
Yao Pingzhong preferred close combat.
Han Shizhong would sometimes shoot and sometimes charge.
Liu Qi rarely allowed anyone to get close to him.
They almost all killed the Western Xia people with bows and arrows.
The Western Xia army retreated to a camp ten miles away.
Manufacture siege equipment.
The three of them did not charge into the army.
They simply shot and killed patrols around the camp.
With too many people around, the three of them left.
With fewer men, the three approached the camp and began shooting.
Even a patrol of dozens of people would be attacked by three people.
Renli heard that the three men had hunted down patrolling soldiers.
Several sharpshooters were sent out of the camp to challenge the three.
However, he was also shot and killed by Liu Qi and Han Shizhong.
Renli could only grit his teeth and continue sending his soldiers on patrol.
However, each patrol team consists of one hundred soldiers.
Even so, the three continued to attack the patrol team.
The three of them rode the finest horses kept in the royal palace.
Coming and going like the wind,
They would approach and shoot a few people before leaving.
The patrolling soldiers reacted,
They could only watch helplessly as their pursuers left in the dust.
It was designed several times.
They failed to surround the three people.
In less than half a day,
The reputation of the harassment trio spread throughout the Western Xia camp.
Before leaving the camp, the soldiers assigned to patrol would pray that they would not encounter the three men.
Until night fell,
The three of them rushed back.
Zhang Qing, however, personally guarded the city gate.
Seeing the three of them return,
He then ordered the drawbridge to be taken down.
Close the city gates.
To prevent the Western Xia people from launching a nighttime attack.
Zhang Qing looked at the bulging bags hanging from the three horses and laughed.
"Looks like the shipment went well."
Han Shizhong shook his head and said, "Many people were shot."
"They were all taken back by other Western Xia people,"
"There wasn't time to get their waist tags."
Zhang Qing laughed and said, "How about it? Is that enough for a baron?"
Han Shizhong shrugged and said, "Yao Pingzhong and I should be able to raise enough money by tomorrow."
"Liu Qi has shot and killed more than eighty people today."
When the three left the city,
It was almost noon.
We returned to the city several times to change horses and rest.
Zhang Qing heard that Liu Qi had already shot and killed more than eighty people.
He couldn't help but praise,
"Lieutenant Liu's archery skills are comparable to those of General Hua, the Little Li Guang."
