Call of the Other World: Rebuilding the Glory of Zhenbei

Chapter 9: The tiger is the prey

At that time, Han Shenxing and others suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the side, and they immediately drew their bows and prepared to shoot, with a pair of sword eyes flashing with brilliance.

In the flying dust, the tall horses are all the heavily armored cavalrymen of the Zhenbei Army who are able to defeat a hundred men with one. Look at the royal flag in the hands of the general carrying the flag. It is as bright as blood and has only one word written on it, "Han"!
More than a hundred elite cavalrymen rushed out with great force and momentum.

When the herd of horses approached, we could see clearly who was coming.

The leader was like an iron tower, emitting endless oppression. A scar on his face ran diagonally from the corner of his eye, making him look even more ferocious. At this moment, he was grinning, like an ancient giant bear.

In his hand he held a strange weapon of eighteen feet in length, and he sat on a horse that looked like a dragon.

This dragon-like colt is nine feet tall, with a tuft of golden hair twisted together on its buttocks, shaped like the sun, which looks extremely conspicuous.

You can tell at first glance that he is a charging general who can defeat ten thousand enemies.

When Han Shenxing saw who the person was, he already knew who he was, so he released his bow and put the arrow in, waiting for the other person to run up.

The black-armored black riders came up to him and recognized that it was the Crown Prince Han Shenxing. They immediately dismounted and saluted. Only the strong man in front came forward and said, "Captain Tan Taifang of the Armor-breaking Battalion of the Zhenbei Army heard that the Crown Prince was hunting in the wilderness, so he came to help."

After traveling through time, Han Shenxing had read the information about the generals of the Zhenbei Army. He had to respect and marvel at the summary of the military exploits of Tan Tai Fang, one of the top three generals of the Zhenbei Palace. Tan Tai Fang was an orphan on the battlefield, who was picked up by Yang Yan, a general who was a corrupt general of the Zhenbei Army, and raised to adulthood. After Yang Yan was killed in battle, he inherited his adoptive father's mantle and the Pojia Battalion. As long as he was given a Yuwang Kaishan Spear, he could take the heads of generals in the midst of thousands of troops several times.

The battle that made him famous was the one where he fought against three generals in Feilang Valley, killed one and let two escape, sacrificed his life to cover the retreat in front of Tianlang Pass, rode his horse and trampled on the beacon fire at Bowangpo, and led his 3,000 soldiers to break through the camp and advance and retreat seven times, forcing the enemy to retreat thirty miles. Afterwards, people called him "Tan Tai Fang, the Divine Spear General of Zhenbei"!

If Dongli Xiehuang of the Great Xia Dynasty is called the evil killer, then Tan Tai Fang of the Zhenbei Army is the tyrannical dictator!
The tyrannical dictator who claims to eliminate evil in the name of light is himself the embodiment of evil!

Turning all the thugs in the world into ashes is a belief engraved in his bones and blood, and it is his creed that he would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let any one go!

Take the magic weapon in his hand, for example. It doesn't look like something that an ordinary general can wield.

King Yu's Kaishan Spear has a peculiar shape, very similar to a hammer. The basic shape is an iron rod with a hand cast in front. Two fingers extended forward or holding a pen with the tip facing forward is called a "finger", five fingers extended is called a "palm", a clenched fist is called a "fist", and a double-headed iron nail held horizontally in the fist is called a "horizontal".

Putting them together and taking their homophony, it becomes "holding the power" to show the sacredness of Dayu who eliminated harm for the people.

Throughout history, those who dared to use such strange weapons as their own weapons must be a group of fierce men who kill people as easily as picking up grass.

Han Shenxing had always been very fond of him, so he immediately dismounted and said, "Captain Tantai, please don't be so polite. It's been a long time since you and I went hunting together. Today, let me see your majesty."

"Now is the time when the rabbits are fat. We can have a good meal after hunting them and practice archery at the same time, so as not to waste time."

This trip is both hunting and military training.

The group of young men behind him are all good talents that can be trained. They are all loyal and will first serve as personal soldiers. Then those with promising potential will be selected to lead troops independently.

You must know that in order to dominate the world, you have to employ your trusted private individuals.

The personal soldiers are the real trusted minions and they also need to be won over and trained.

Grinding up strength every day is like working in isolation. A soldier who has never seen blood, who has never wandered between life and death, can never become a true warrior.

The eyes of Tan Tai Fang and others behind him lit up. They were all full of energy and usually patrolled outside when they had nothing to do to avoid encountering the Northern Mang barbarians who wanted to take advantage of them. Now they finally had a chance to relax and they were shouting with joy.

He was really dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, accompanied by elite soldiers, and looked very majestic.

But it is also a good time, a time when heroes can show their talents after the great waves have washed away the sands.

The Youzhou Road in Zhenbei Prefecture is a place where martial arts prevails, and it has become one of the places where the best soldiers and generals in the world are located.

People in Youzhou have always admired and been accustomed to the beauty of both calligraphy and swordsmanship. "They are fishing and hunting, and they farm and weave." "The barbarians are good at archery, and the people of Youzhou are also good at archery, because they are used to it."

Every common people loves martial arts, and it has been like this since ancient times.

Nowadays, martial arts have become a popular trend. The six arts of a gentleman include courtesy, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics. Among them, archery and charioteering are both techniques for strengthening the body.

In the environment where the culture of riding, archery and martial arts was prevalent, many brave and capable generals emerged in the Zhenbei Prefecture area. A typical representative was Gongsun Ling, who was feared by the Qiang and Hu tribes in the north.

"Swish..." A feather arrow shot into the bushes, and a sturdy wild boar jumped out from it, howling miserably and running towards them.

"We've provoked a huge and terrible creature." Han Shenxing muttered while riding on his horse with a calm expression. He didn't worry at all that it would hurt him. His confidence came not only from his own archery skills, but also from Tan Tai Fang beside him. Under his protection, no beast could get close to him.

He acted quickly and shot another arrow. This time he could see clearly and the distance was quite close, so the whole arrow almost penetrated the wild boar's chest.

Wild boars are not stupid creatures, on the contrary they are very cunning and will immediately return to the bushes when they are seriously injured.

"Where are you running to?" Han Shenxing shot his third arrow through the wild boar's hind leg just before it entered the bush. He then nodded at his personal guard beside him, signaling him to clean up the mess.

"I have hunted several wild pheasants before. This wild boar is a pleasant surprise. That's enough."

"We have game, but unfortunately we have no wine."

"Your Highness, please stop complaining." Tan Tai Fang on the side rarely spoke.

"Roar!" At this moment, a loud roar was heard.

Suddenly, the faces of several people changed drastically, and they looked towards the source of the sound vigilantly.

A tiger roared. It was clearly a tiger roaring. The tiger roared in the forest, and immediately the animals around it scattered and fled for their lives.

The horse under the crotch of the personal guard nearby even overturned the wild boar on the horse and ran up the mountain in panic.

The horses neighed restlessly, tossed their heads, and stamped their hooves.

Han Shenxing pulled the reins tightly and whispered to the horse under him to comfort it, while looking around the jungle with a look of surprise.

"There are ferocious beasts."

Suddenly, a colorful figure jumped out from the bushes beside Han Shenxing.

A fishy wind blew in his face. He twisted his neck stiffly and stared in amazement at a huge white-browed tiger rushing towards him.

His eyes were like copper bells, and his bloody mouth spewed out a foul smell!
The big beast opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Han Shenxing. Han Shenxing, who had never seen such a brutal scene, was shocked and was about to die.

"Is this the power of a tiger?" Han Shenxing's mind was very clear, but his body was out of control. At this moment, the horse he was riding also froze with fear.

Seeing that the tiger was about to bite his throat, Han Shenxing couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He thought he was too arrogant.

The tiger roared like thunder and leaped up, about to pounce on Mu Qinghuang, but with a "bang" sound of a bow string, a long arrow like a startled wild goose and lightning shot into the tiger's back, and the arrowhead came out from the other side.

However, it was Lu Jiao who saw that Han Shenxing was in danger, so he acted instinctively in a hurry, and he used his right arm with amazing strength.

The tiger seemed to be struck by lightning, and its momentum slowed down in mid-air. It only pounced on the horse's ribs and pinned the horse down. It roared again, and actually left Mu Qinghuang, who was dizzy from falling in front of it, and ran towards the attacker.

too fast!
The tiger runs very fast.

"Protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Tan Tai Fang shouted loudly, raised the King Yu's Spear in his hand and stood in front of Han Shenxing.

"Bang", a crisp impact sound accompanied by the crackling sound of countless bones breaking.

"Are you crazy?" Han Shenxing couldn't help but be very anxious. The strong emotional fluctuations greatly relieved the physical and mental pressure. He found that he could move. He stretched his toes straight down, clamped the horse's belly tightly, twisted his upper body 180 degrees, pulled the hard bow, and put a heavy arrow.

call out----"

The bowstring vibrated, and a sound of breaking through the air was heard.

The sharp arrow pierced the tiger's neck with a whistling sound, and the tiger was knocked over by the force of the arrow. Before it could get up, two more arrows pierced its stomach. After being hit repeatedly, the big beast finally lost its majesty as a mountain king. It let out a miserable scream, and its huge body staggered to one side, shaking and finally falling to the ground. Its limbs twitched, and it made a low sound from its mouth as it lay on the ground whimpering.

Han Shenxing turned his horse's head, rode closer, pulled out an arrow with a ferocious face, and shot it into the tiger's eye socket. This shot was fatal.

This time, the king of beasts choked twice and then fell silent.

He gritted his teeth, still not satisfied, and shot one arrow, two arrows, three arrows... ten arrows... until the quiver was empty.

Han Shenxing was exhausted and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

It was deathly quiet all around.

The young soldiers not far away stood up with the help of others, looking at the tiger that was shot like a hedgehog, and couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

"Ding Dong! Congratulations!"

"Suddenly there was no sound"
