Seeing the unusual situation, Tang Yanhai did not hesitate and immediately ordered:
"Follow me and rush over to protect the adults!"
The elite of the twenty cavalry scouts battalion were unequivocal, ten of them drew their swords and raised their crossbows;
The other ten men took out their compound bows, drew their bows and arrows, and shot as soon as they came into range.
The two sides immediately turned against each other and engaged in armed conflict after the hostage exchange was completed.
Hou Zongmin and Zhao Muyun both came in person to pick up their brothers.
When Hou Zongmin was reminded by Zhang Hong that the other party was Zhao Muyun himself, he immediately decided to kill him.
There is nothing more satisfying than killing Zhao Muyun on the spot.
Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight and shooting at each other on horseback, Hou Zongmin's fist had already hit Zhao Muyun's back.
Wang Tiezhu was carried by Zhao Muyun on his back. Hou Zongming had no time to think and planned to punch Zhao Muyun with all his strength, knocking him down through Wang Tiezhu.
Feeling the fierce murderous aura and whistling fist wind behind him, Zhao Muyun was worried that Wang Tiezhu on his back would be attacked, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Hou Zongmin is definitely not a good person. He dared to come alone to exchange people and took the initiative to attack Zhao Muyun. He must be absolutely confident in his own martial arts skills.
There was no need for Zhao Muyun to confront him head-on at this time. He should first put himself and Wang Tiezhu in a safe place.
He pushed hard with his feet and rushed forward.
Hou Zongming's punch only touched the corner of Wang Tiezhu's clothes before missing, and he fell to the ground like a wolf that missed its prey.
He exerted force with both hands, and his whole body flew into the air, kicking out with his feet backwards like a scorpion's tail.
When Zhao Muyun saw Hou Zongmin's posture, he was sure that he was a martial artist.
A man who was born as a bandit leader does have some skills.
No wonder Wang Tiezhu fell into his hands.
Zhao Muyun's eyes turned cold, and he did not let go of Wang Tiezhu on his back. He reached into his right boot with one hand and took out a triangular thorn.
A cold light flashed, and he stabbed at Hou Zongming's thigh without any hesitation.
He actually carries weapons with him!
Hou Zongmin had obviously witnessed the power of the triangular spear in Zhao Muyun's hand from Wang Tiezhu and others.
He quickly spread his legs apart and pushed hard against the ground. Not only did he stop the car, but he also used his hands and feet to retreat like a crab, looking extremely embarrassed.
Zhao Muyun immediately took advantage of the situation and pressed on.
When the triangular spike hit the pebbles, it would produce sparks, and when it hit the sand, it would splash up piles of mud and sand.
Hou Zongmin was also agile. Although he seemed panicked, he managed to avoid all of Zhao Muyun's continuous stabs.
After Zhao Muyun attacked for a while, he suddenly shouted and swung the three-edged spear horizontally with his backhand.
Hou Zongmin was shocked and hurriedly did a bridge move and then a donkey roll, narrowly avoiding Zhao Muyun's three-edged spear sweep.
The tip of the three-edged thorn passed by the tip of his nose, and the chill was so strong that Hou Zongming broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhao Muyun's technique of using the triangular spear is more skillful and advanced than Wang Tiezhu's.
Taking advantage of Hou Zongmin's surprise, Zhao Muyun turned around and walked to the warhorse with Wang Tiezhu on his back. Then he put Wang Tiezhu on the horse's back, led the warhorse to run a few steps towards Tang Yanhai, then stopped and stabbed the horse's butt with a three-edged spear.
The warhorse felt pain and ran straight towards the direction where Tang Yanhai and his men came from.
At this time, the fifty cavalrymen brought by Hou Zongmin and the twenty cavalrymen brought by Tang Yanhai came galloping from a mile away from the hostage exchange.
The horse's hooves stirred up the river sand.
Ten of Tang Yanhai's men drew their compound bows, and the arrows passed over Hou Zongmin and Zhao Muyun in the middle, pointing at Hou Zongmin's men who were running from behind.
Similarly, some of Hou Zongmin's men took out their bows and arrows, and relying on their numbers, they were ready to fight back with the same method.
Neither side would dare to shoot towards the center for fear of accidentally injuring their own people.
But now, the two sides were at least a mile apart, and both were rushing forward desperately, trying to get into the effective range first.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In the end, the scout battalion took action first.
When they were a hundred steps from the center, they began shooting arrows.
The compound bow, which has been improved three times, has stronger performance. Iron pulleys are installed at both ends, and the components are lubricated with animal fat, making it easier for archers to use.
If Zhao Muyun can make steel wire one day, the range of the compound bow will have a qualitative leap.
However, given Dayin's current industrial level, it is probably difficult to achieve.
Ten compound bows and ten arrows seem sparse.
However, it scared the other party a lot.
Because in their opinion, the bow was shot from 250 steps away, and on horseback.
These fifty riders are Hou Zongmin's personal guards, and can also be said to be the most powerful people among Hou Zongmin's 20,000 troops in Xiazhou.
Everyone can draw a two-stone bow and arrow, and hit the target at 150 steps.
Now, there are people who can draw a bow from 250 steps away. How strong must they be and how hard must their bow be!
Just as they were surprised, arrows were already flying towards them.
Suddenly, three or four unlucky guys were shot by arrows and fell off their horses.
Seeing this, the others whipped their horses hard and rushed forward.
Only when you reach their shooting range can you fight back.
After Zhao Muyun sent Wang Tiezhu onto the warhorse, he felt relieved. He no longer had any worries and could focus on dealing with Hou Zongmin.
He twisted his body on the sand, holding the triangular spear upside down, and rushed towards Hou Zongming.
Hou Zongmin obviously looked down on Zhao Muyun just now, thinking that he was so young and had no ability.
It was not until he was forced into danger by Zhao Muyun that he began to take Zhao Muyun seriously.
