The sun shines brightly and the sky is as clear as the sky.

The endless sea and the blue sky are connected in a line in the distant sky.

"The sea reaches the end and the sky forms the shore."

Looking at such a vast ocean, Long Qingyun suddenly felt open-minded and relaxed, and a powerful and broad spirit surged in his heart:

"Those who know understand things and principles but do not stagnate, which is similar to water, so they enjoy water."

The happiness of this wise man is as leisurely and lively as this vast and endless sea water. No wonder Confucius felt that "the kind of man enjoys the mountains, and the wise man enjoys the water"!

Although this trip was extremely dangerous and difficult to walk.

At this time, when I saw the rippling sea of ​​blue waves, I was optimistic and open-minded.

The effort of a cup of tea.

I saw Zhoushan Island floating in the middle of the sea.

The island has mountains and mountains, beautiful mountains and rivers, lush trees, and different shapes of reefs on the shore.

From a distance, it looks like a vast landscape painting, which makes people pleasing to the eye and relaxed.

Zhoushan Island is getting closer.

Long Qingyun looked away and saw that at the top of the first mountain to the east, there were still people vaguely moving.

"Senior Chu, I will go around the back first. You go up the mountain from the front, and after a stick of incense, we will attack from both sides!"

The boat was still a distance away from the shore. As soon as Long Qingyun finished speaking, he stepped on the board with his right foot, jumped up, and flew towards the island like a big roc.

The first peak on the east side of Zhoushan Island is the shortest among the mountains and the terrain, and is the first peak on the east side.

The rising sun rises in the east and the dawn begins to dew. The first morning glow descends on this peak, so it is named Chaoxia Peak.

At this time, more than 30 men in purple clothes were hidden behind mounds, stones, and forests, holding bows and crossbows in the hands of the Chaoxia Peak, waiting for the battle, with bright eyes and a fierce aura of strength.

Everyone’s left chest is marked with the “Cui” and it is obvious that it is the Cuibaozhai Gang.

Among the crowd, two heroic purple figures were passing through, sometimes pointing to the distance, sometimes pointing to the near, as if giving orders and commanding the battle.

These two are Quan Shijie and Ye Bingchen, one of the famous "Quibaozhai Four Leopards" in Cuibaozhai. The two are younger than the "Quibaozhai Four Tigers", but their martial arts are higher than the latter.

The "Cuibaozhai Four Tigers" are responsible for internal affairs and are good at meticulous and delicate counter work; while the "Cuibaozhai Four Tigers" are responsible for external affairs and are famous for their boldness and alertness.

Therefore, during the escort, the "Four Leopards of Cuibaozhai" were responsible for dealing with Green Forest and Pirates, and Quan Shijie and Ye Bingchen were responsible for the Cuibaozhai Mingzhou Port Branch.

Quan Shijie and Ye Bingchen have been dealing with Green Forest and Pirates all year round. After many battles, they have explored a set of methods and techniques for marching and setting up formations to fight the enemy. This time, they responded well on the spot and retreated to the top of Chaoxia Peak.

The merchant ship guards relied on their strong bows and crossbows to block the enemy under the top of the Chaoxia Peak.

Quan Shijie and Ye Bingchen were calm in the face of danger and were well-organized. After retreating, they could also send a letter to ask for help from Yu Zhan Aoshuang. This calmness and calmness are also a skill that has been tempered through long-term battle formations.

Quan Shijie has a big waist and a round waist, a burly and strong figure, a wide nose and square face, and is quite heroic. He is almost thirty years old and is good at using Yanling swords.

Ye Bingchen is slightly fat, medium-sized, white and beardless. He is just over thirty years old and has a clear-brilliant sword in his hand. He has few rivals in the Mingzhou Port Branch of Cuibaozhai, and his kung fu is better than Quan Shijie.

The two escorted four merchant ships back from Nanyang yesterday afternoon, with spices and jewelry on the ships.

As soon as they arrived at Zhoushan Island, more than twenty small boats hiding in the dark rushed up. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two of them thought that Chaoxia Peak was easy to defend but difficult to attack. So they fought and retreated, and retreated to the top of Chaoxia Peak.

The person who attacked the Cuibaozhai caravan was a martial artist of the Donghan Army, with extremely fierce combat power. The person who led the team was Sobaru, the commander of the Donghan Thousand Massacre. He had been practicing on the battlefield for many years and was extremely brave and courageous. The Cuibaozhai caravan suffered heavy losses and lost more than a dozen brothers.

The Cuibaozhai Caravan, if it weren't for the steep terrain as a barrier, condescending and long-distance shock of strong bows and hard crossbows, would have probably been wiped out.

The Nanyong crossbow can be shot and killed from a distance and is extremely powerful.

Although the Donghan army was brave and good at fighting, they were also quite afraid of Nan Yong's power of shooting and killing.

At this time, Nanyong was surrounded by Donghan, Beiqi, and Xiqiang, all of which were brave and warlike horse-backed nations.

The Central Plains Dynasty also had a strong cavalry team. For example, the famous general Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty led a cavalry across the desert and won the eternal reputation of "sealing the wolf and drinking the vast sea of ​​horses".

During the Southern Yong period, the "Yanzhao Land" that produced war horses was abundant and was swallowed by the Donghan and Northern Khitan, and the Western Regions fell into the hands of the Western Qiang.

Nanyong, who lost his horse production base, was scarce in the horses. In order to deal with the invasion of the surrounding horseback ethnic groups, he had to improve the level of crossbow production to achieve the effect of "using arrows to control riders".

During the years of battle with the surrounding horse-backed nations, Nanyong's technology for making crossbows is becoming more and more mature.

What makes crossbows more advanced than traditional bows and arrows is that they can accumulate energy. At the moment of launching, this energy becomes power and shoots at the enemy with invincible penetration.

At this time, Nanyong was the peak period of the development of crossbows. The powerful force of the bows and arrows he shot was so strong that Sobaru, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, had a deep understanding of them.

When the two armies faced each other, the crossbows were the main weapons. At this time, there was a saying in the Nanyong military:

"There are thirty-six military weapons, and the bow is called the head; there are thirty-eight martial arts, and the bow is the first."

It can be seen how important the status of the crossbow is when the two armies are in battle. During the Dayong period, after the crossbow was improved, the strength of the bow increased, so the power it fired was greater, the longer the range, and the stronger the lethality.

According to the "Wu Jing Zongyao", there is a super crossbow called "Three bows and eight cow bed crossbows". Not only are the crossbows large, but the arrows are also huge.

It is said that during the Dayong period, the Khitan went south to invade Yong, and his attitude was extremely arrogant and domineering. In anger, the Yong army transferred the "Three Bows and Eight Ox Bed Crossbows" and transported them to the two armies. They twisted the crossbows and broke out with an arrow, directly shooting Khitan general Xiao Talin under the horse.

The Khitan court was shocked and signed the "Tanyuan Alliance" with Dayong. The two countries of Yongqi have lived peacefully for a hundred years. It can be seen how powerful the crossbow is. A crossbow laid the foundation for the hundred-year peace between Yongqi.

Since then, archery-making workshops have emerged, and the Nanyong troops have begun to pay attention to the cultivation of crossbowmen.

Therefore, the entourages who guarded the houses of the people also began to emerge with crossbow guards.

As the largest sea trade business in Nanyong, Cuibaozhai has businesses all over the world and often travels around the sea. Of course, the escort of the crossbow guards is indispensable.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Cuibaozhai Guards, which have been through the battle formation for a long time, cannot be underestimated and are naturally very powerful.

At this time, Chaoxia Peak was close to the top of the mountain, surrounded by strong men in black, holding shields in their left hand and swords in their right hand. His steps were neat and fierce, and he was obviously a well-trained military warrior.

There were hundreds of people in dense crowds.

Leading the leader of Donghan Thousand Master Sobaru, wearing a gray robe, was raised high above the top.

A burning murderous intent appeared on his face.
