Chapter 177: The City is Like a Peerless Domain 2
Si Ruo's bodies and I had just hit the ground, and the powerful crossbow that had been shattered fell to the ground. I have the impression that the crossbow bolts on the blown up retort were fired in different directions.
If a crossbow bolt is spotted outside, the fire thrown into the fog will be even more intense. However, the transfer machine, which had been preparing for a long time, had not been activated for a long time, and it was unable to suppress the opponent's firepower at all.
I whispered in Si Ruo's ear, "Lie down", and I stood up from the ground, stepped on the city, and flew down to a projectile plane. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I heard the person in command outside sneer: "Sure enough, there is an ambush." Throw it again. ”
I quickly glanced at the mechanism, and immediately grabbed the wrench on it and pressed down with all my might, and hundreds of arrows roared out with the earth-shattering sound of the bowstring, covering the city like flying locusts.
The moment the screams of the disciples of the torture hall shook the sky behind the mist, a strong fire also rose from the sky. As the figure wrapped in gunpowder smoke tumbled down the city wall, a whistling dragon suddenly flew out of my sight.
I didn't even have time to think about it before I jumped out of the projector. I was still in mid-air, and a violent explosion shook off above me. The bazooka-shattered mechanism dragged the fireworks around me, and I fell to the ground.
I rolled forward a few times to stabilize my figure, but there was a "crunch" sound above my head. When I looked up, the beam that supported the base of the machine could no longer bear the weight of the base, and it snapped into two pieces with a "click", and the fiery wreckage of the mechanism fell on top of my head in an instant.
I didn't care that my legs were still in severe pain, so I quickly crawled under the wall with my hands and feet. No sooner had I approached the walls than the wreckage of the mechanism fell to the ground in front of me. The shards of the mechanism wrapped in the smoke of the fire burst straight at me, and I quickly held my head in my hands and shrunk into a ball on the ground, allowing the raindrops of wood to fall on top of me.
"Wang Huan-" As soon as Si Ruo cried in the city, I heard An Ran shouting with a crying voice: "Hurry up, go quickly!"
"You let go of me, I won't leave!" Si Ruo's voice had become extremely hoarse.
An Ran's voice also changed tone: "Sister-in-law, you go quickly, don't let Brother Huan sacrifice in vain." ”
"Stop firing, capture the demon girl Si Ruo, give it to me. Someone gave an order, and the footsteps of a large number of torture hall disciples rushing forward also came from the city.
I don't know if it was An Ran's "sister-in-law" that touched Si Ruo, or the opponent who rushed in made Si Ruo change his mind, the voices of the two people began to get farther and farther away, until a large number of torture hall disciples chased me from my head into the distance, I stood up.
However, the first person I saw turned out to be Ye Xun with a blue face. The other party was standing not far from me, and the white clothes on his body were still stained with black stains that had been burned by the fire. Ye Xun's face was gloomy and he said, "Give me an explanation." ”
Before I could speak, Tao Siyu's voice sounded behind me: "I also need an explanation." ”
"You two......" I had said only a few words, and then I slammed into the wall, for I heard someone approaching this section of the wall. Between Ye Xun and Tao Siyu's sudden change of color, they leaned to my side one left and one right, and held their breath with their backs tightly against the city wall.
Soon a voice was heard from the city: "Do you see the corpse?"
"No, it's either smoke or fire down there, you can't see anything clearly. "There was more than one person who replied, but the answer was about the same, there were at least a dozen people in the city looking for the bodies of several of us.
Someone gave an order: "Let the brothers who go around search forward, and see people alive and corpses when they die." Let's keep chasing. ”
The footsteps on the city faded away, but the pursuers who had rounded the city were getting closer and closer. Ye Xun pulled me by the hand: "Hurry up." ”
"They can't come without leaving. "When I hid behind the battlements of the city wall and quietly looked out, Tao Siyu handed over a mirror attached to the dagger. I looked through the vanity mirror and saw more than twenty heavily armed torture hall disciples with weapons in their hands searching towards us.
Except for a few battlements under the city walls, there was almost no shelter, and at their current speed, it would only take another two or three minutes to get close to the place where we were hiding.
When I couldn't help but put my hand on the handle of the gun on my waist, the sound of crossbows suddenly broke out on the side of the city wall, and the overwhelming crossbows and crossbows flew from the wall, and most of the disciples of the torture hall were immediately pierced through the skulls and ribs by arrows, and fell in a pool of blood.
Although a few disciples fell to the ground in time, the second wave of arrows on the city wall came one after another, this time the crossbow arrows were changed from flat to oblique shooting, and a string of crossbow arrows were arranged from near to far at a distance of half a foot, and the disciples of the torture hall who had not had time to get up were suddenly nailed to the ground alive.
Only one master fled into the distance under the repeated rolling, and although the strong bow and crossbow that pursued him were roaring repeatedly, he only escaped death in front of the crossbow arrow at a distance of about two inches several times, and he could only stand up after the crossbow arrow combo.
I whispered, "Ye Xun!"
Ye Xun immediately shook off* and aimed at the other party's vital point, the person almost instinctively felt that the danger was approaching, and suddenly turned his head to look in our direction, and the moment he and Ye Xun looked at each other, he instinctively wanted to shout.
I saw the other man's lips open slightly, and immediately drew his dagger. I must not let the other person shout, or my original plan will be ruined.
Before Ye Xun could pull it, two snow-bright blades shot out from the dirt under the man's feet, instantly piercing the opponent's feet. The man's original voice turned into a scream, and the whole person fell backwards with his head up.
Before the man's body could touch the ground, more than a dozen blades broke through the ground and pierced the person from behind.
As the man's body was picked up by a sharp blade and slowly slid to the ground, someone on the distant city wall shouted, "Who sent someone down?"
Someone replied, "It's an order from the Thirteen Elders." ”
"Nonsense!" It was only then that I could hear that it was the voice of the Great Elder, "Pass the order, from now on, no one is allowed to act without my order, and no one is allowed to change the route at will, the old thirteen have a demerit." ”
"Yes!" someone received the order and passed on the instructions of the Great Elder layer by layer.
When I heard someone coming in our direction, I quickly signaled Ye Xun to them not to move. The members of the Elder Group are all masters, both hearing and perception are several times higher than ordinary people, if they find out that we are hiding under the city, a few of us will definitely die.
The Great Elder said as he walked, "What about the casualties ahead?"
"The crossbow launched by Wang Huan damaged the men and horses of our nearly two squads, but fortunately, the casualties were not the Red Belt disciples, and the losses were not too big. However, the people who went down from the Old Thirteen ......"
That person obviously didn't care about the lives of ordinary disciples, but he was worried about the casualties of the Red Belt disciples.
"Hmph!" the Great Elder said unhappily, "The Thirteenth is a meritorious service, and this problem can't be changed if it is not changed." The route was clearly marked on the map, but he had to find a shortcut......"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but "chuckle" in my heart: The Great Elders, they also got the map? Could it be that Zhuge Liang left more than one map?
The more the Great Elder spoke, the more angry he became: "It has been repeatedly emphasized on the map that the first city wall can only go out of the middle gate, I have explained to the old thirteen several times, why doesn't he listen?"
Things are exactly what I expected. The five-story walls of the Organ City are advanced layer by layer, and there is a certain distance between each two walls. After the Fire Phoenix destroyed the first city, the fastest way to reach the second layer was to go straight forward. The reason why Qin Siyue chose to detour was because she didn't want to touch the trap between the two cities, which was why I felt that it was impossible for the pursuers under the city to approach the three of us.
The person who guided the Great Elder forward suddenly stopped above us and said, "This is where Wang Huan jumped down. ”
The Great Elder didn't speak, and the others didn't move, probably looking down at the top of the city. At this time, the fire on the wreckage of the mechanism has been extinguished, but the smoke on the burned wreckage is a little heavier, I am not afraid that the other party will find out that we are hiding under the city, I am afraid that they will make other moves.
The man said, "Elder, do you think we need to throw some more* down to probe the truth?"
My heart sank: whatever you are afraid of, you will come!
The Great Elder was silent for a moment, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in my palms. The Great Elder finally spoke: "There's no need to be so troublesome, just a breeze, can't turn up any wind and waves, even if Wang Huan doesn't die, he can't escape from the organs." Ordered all the disciples to move on, and to capture the demon girl Si Ruo alive no matter what. ”
"Yes!" The man was respectful, and the Great Elder spoke again, "Did Luo Qianqian bring it with you?"
The man replied, "I have brought it, but she is reluctant to cooperate." ”
"If you don't cooperate, you will be arrested. The Great Elder said coldly, "Let people take her behind, and if she dies safely, dispose of her." ”
The Great Elder obviously wanted to use Luo Qianqian to threaten An Ran, and after he threw down an order, he led people forward. The disciples of the torture hall of the brigade walked quickly past the city in groups, and from the sound of footsteps, they should have carried heavy weapons. The torture hall is out of the nest this time.
I waited until they all left, and then I breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to Ye Xun and the two of them, "I just jumped from the city on purpose. Qin Siyue's side, I always felt a little unsteady in my heart, but with her, I can only be at her mercy, only by finding a way to make me disappear, we have a chance to turn defeat into victory. What are you doing with me?"
