5: Grabbing the tongue

200 meters.

180 meters.

150 meters.

Lu Xingchen shot an arrow, hitting Wang Xing, who was repositioning!

Headshot!

The soldiers' eyes widened in disbelief.

The shooting range immediately erupted in cheers.

"Holy cow, that must be about 150 meters, right? This Da Zhuang's vision range is a bit absurd!"

"No wonder the Battalion Commander parachuted him into our squadron; turns out he's a master!"

Wang Xing was hit and completely stunned.

His vision range was 120 meters, which was why Lin Wanqing valued him and made him a squadron leader.

But this Lu Dazhuang actually reached a terrifying 150 meters!

Could a new recruit really achieve this?

Wang Xing was now thoroughly convinced.

Wang Xing picked up the wooden arrow, walked towards Lu Xingchen, and shouted, "Greetings, squadron leader!"

The other soldiers followed suit, shouting in unison.

"Greetings, squadron leader!"

Only then did Lu Xingchen truly solidify his position.

Just then, Lin Wanqing arrived at the shooting range with a middle-aged man.

As she stepped onto the range, she heard the collective shouts of the crowd, and a slight smile played on her lips.

It seemed her judgment was good; she had found a capable person.

Lu Xingchen also saw Lin Wanqing and immediately walked up to her.

"Battalion Commander, is there something you need me for?"

"Lu Dazhuang, last night our battalion defeated a Fengming Kingdom supply unit and captured countless supplies. Most importantly, there were over two hundred warhorses among them."

Lin Wanqing's lips curled into a slight smile, clearly in a good mood.

Lu Xingchen was slightly stunned, then immediately understood Lin Wanqing's intention.

"You wouldn't be thinking of turning the Foot Archer Squadron into a Horse Bow Squadron, would you?"

Lin Wanqing was a little surprised.

This Lu Dazhuang was quite clever!

She nodded slightly and said, "That's exactly what I mean. This elder brother's name is Yi Hong; he's a squadron leader from the Horse Bow Battalion under the Great General. I've invited him to teach you all. So, can you manage it?"

"Of course, we can! I can also teach mounted archery!"

Lu Xingchen was a little excited.

The Dayan Kingdom's regular army had seventy to eighty thousand men, and that Horse Bow Battalion was the elite of the elite, answering only to his father.

He never imagined he would also have a day when he could lead Horse Archers!

"Good, then I'll entrust these two hundred-plus warhorses to you. Don't disappoint me!"

After Lin Wanqing left, Lu Xingchen immediately took his unit to the wilderness for training.

With Lu Xingchen and Yi Hong, two veterans, the old soldiers quickly got the hang of it, forming a fighting force in just one month.

The war between the Dayan Kingdom and the Fengming Kingdom continued. After completing their training, Lu Xingchen immediately sought out Lin Wanqing.

"Battalion Commander, the Horse Bow Squadron is ready. Please give us our mission!"

"Good, lead your Horse Bow Squadron and bring back a few captives for me."

"Understood!"

Lu Xingchen swiftly assembled his troops and led them out of the main camp, heading towards the combat zone.

But Lu Xingchen did not intend to merely capture captives.

The scenes of the Archer Squadron being wiped out and Shen Tao shielding him were still vivid in his mind; blood debts could only be paid with blood.

Moreover, he needed to kill enemies to level up and add attribute points.

Although the Horse Bow Squadron only had a hundred men, their mobility was extremely high. If commanded properly, they could deal massive damage.

The Horse Archers were extremely fast. In less than half an hour, they discovered a thousand-man army from the Fengming Kingdom.

"Captain, the enemy has too many people. Shall we take a detour?" Wang Xing suggested.

Lu Xingchen snorted coldly.

"I'm not interested in smaller numbers. The enemy only has infantry, no cavalry. Prepare to charge and deliver a heavy blow to the enemy! Remember, if the enemy advances, we retreat; if the enemy retreats, we pursue. Don't give them a chance to touch us. At the same time, disperse your formation and maintain high-speed movement, not giving the enemy Archers a chance to focus fire."

At Lu Xingchen's command, the Horse Bow Squadron charged in unison.

Before the enemy leader could react, the Horse Bow Squadron had already completed its first round of shooting.

Congratulations, host, for killing a One-Star Martial Artist! You have gained one experience point and one exchange point!

Congratulations, host, for triggering the quest: A Minor Test. Requirement: Kill one hundred enemies within one day. Quest Reward: One hundred experience points, one hundred exchange points, profound rank low grade Martial Skill "Li Fire Sword Art."

Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.

The rewards were incredibly generous, and he even got a Profound Rank Martial Skill.

Since that was the case, he would kill to his heart's content!

After the Horse Bow Squadron completed three rounds of shooting, the enemy army finally began to spread out and surround Lu Xingchen.

However, the enemy army was completely helpless against Lu Xingchen. They couldn't touch him, couldn't catch him, and could only passively take hits.

As their encirclement was about to close, Lu Xingchen easily led his team out, then continued to kite them.

Not a single member of the Horse Bow Squadron was injured, and the enemy's numbers were visibly decreasing.

Congratulations, host, for killing a Three-Star Martial Artist! You have gained three experience points and three exchange points!

Congratulations, host, your Realm has advanced to Six-Star Martial Artist! You have gained six talent points!

Congratulations, host, you have gained the talent: Frenzy. Effect: Critical hit rate increased by one percent!

After the enemy's numbers were reduced by more than half, they finally began to rout, scattering and fleeing.

"Pursue them, leave no one alive!"

If any enemy escaped, they would surely report this, and the Fengming Kingdom military would send cavalry or Martial Dao experts to intercept him.

This was not what Lu Xingchen wanted to see.

The Horse Archers dispersed in pursuit, while Lu Xingchen went after the leader of this enemy force, a One-Star Martial Master.

Ordinary arrows found it difficult to harm a Martial Master. Only Lu Xingchen, wielding the zichen bow, could contend with him.

Lu Xingchen allocated 15 talent points to "Frenzy."

Frenzy (16): Critical hit rate increased by thirty percent, critical hit damage increased by fifteen percent.

Immediately after, he purchased ten alloy arrowheads from the System Mall. Effect: Damage increased by five points.

Each alloy arrowhead cost five exchange points; his heart ached.

But as long as he could defeat the enemy, it was all worth it!

Lu Xingchen's horse speed was slightly faster than that One-Star Martial Master's, and he quickly caught up to him.

The first arrow was shot.

The One-Star Martial Master was only focused on escaping and didn't react in time, getting his right arm pierced.

The second and third arrows were dodged by him.

When Lu Xingchen shot the fifth arrow, the One-Star Martial Master became enraged.

As a Martial Master, being put in such a pathetic state by a Martial Artist was simply too shameful.

Since he wouldn't let him go, he would fight to the death!

The One-Star Martial Master turned and charged towards Lu Xingchen.

But to his surprise, as soon as he turned around, Lu Xingchen also turned, not giving him a chance to get close.

The One-Star Martial Master cursed inwardly.

Damn it, this guy was too insidious!

Lu Xingchen shot four more arrows during their back-and-forth, all of which were blocked by the One-Star Martial Master's iron saber.

The tenth arrow was shot.

This time, the arrowhead directly pierced through the iron saber and then through the One-Star Martial Master's chest.
