Chapter 57: The Situation Reversed
Jiang Xiao was stunned for a while before he suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the mysterious guard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and he was very happy to see Dian Wei's support, but he couldn't help but look at the corpse of his younger brother who was already cold, if only he could come a little earlier, it would be a while.
But immediately, Jiang Xiao changed his smile again, and asked Dian Wei kindly, "Brother Dian, I wonder how many reinforcements can come behind you?" β
Dian Wei glanced behind him and responded with a calm smile, "Oh, I'm sorry, there should be only us for reinforcements for the time being, but please rest assured, this lord, we will definitely guard the palace gate." You are also tired, rest well, if we really can't hold on, you go up again. β
Looking at the hundreds of people brought behind Dian Wei, although he heard that the prince's guards were very powerful, he had never seen it after all, and this time the enemy was still a well-trained forbidden army.
But Jiang Xiao didn't want to question it head-on, and looked down on the prince guards who came to the rescue, so he had to say euphemistically, "Brother Dian Wei, thank you for your kindness, we are not tired, and we can still kill the enemy, after all, the safety of the saint is important, just in case, let's defend together." β
Dian Wei smiled and nodded without answering, just quietly looked at the forbidden army running in front of him, roaring hoarsely and cheering for himself.
One hundred steps......
Jiang Xiao looked at Yu Linwei brought by Dian Wei suspiciously.
Eighty steps......
Looking at Yu Linwei, who hadn't moved yet, the two brothers couldn't help but get up anxious, and said, "This brother, you are such a person, if you don't shoot, it's too late!" β
Seventy steps......
Jiang Xiao had already given up, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Hey, it's okay, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just been established, and there are too few people, so you can understand without experience in this area." β
After thinking about it, Jiang Xiao stared at the forbidden army swarming in front of him, nervously held the Pu knife in his hand, and was ready to fight to the death at any time.
"Ready!" Dian Wei shouted calmly.
Sixty steps......
Jiang Xiao shook his head helplessly, it was too late, even if he released it now, he would be able to shoot a few arrows and kill a few people, but it was a pity, hey, if his brother was on it, he would definitely be able to shoot him to death one hundred and eighty people first, rubbing their sharpness.
And the forbidden army running all the way on the opposite side was also overjoyed to look at Dian Wei's side, seeing that he was about to take over with a short army, but the expected sharp arrow had not yet arrived, and the military attache who led the front row couldn't help but wave his hand excitedly and shouted, "It's all scared and scared, brothers, kill with me!" β
However, what greeted them was not the expected crushing, but Dian Wei's gentle "Shoot!" β
"Huh~" A rain of arrows fell, and dozens of forbidden soldiers in the front row were instantly shot to the ground, and the forbidden army was not afraid, as if they had long been used to it, they quickly crossed the corpses in the front row, and then heard the forbidden army shout again, "Brothers, don't be afraid, rush over!" β
Suddenly, the forbidden army in the front row slowed down the pace of his feet, looked up at the sky sluggishly, and his eyes widened in disbelief, "How could it be ......?"
I saw that the dense star-like arrows in the sky covered the bright moonlight, and poured down like raindrops in the direction of the forbidden army's formation.
The military attache of the forbidden army in the front row muttered in disbelief, "How is this possible, there is only an arrow team of hundreds of people, why can there be such a huge arrow rain!" Is there still an ambush? β
In that short distance of dozens of paces, those forbidden soldiers could never rush up, and they saw that they fell in a pool of blood one after another, and the corpses on the ground were also covered layer after layer.
Jiang Xiao was also stunned on the side, watching the Yu Linwei led by Dian Wei shooting sharp arrows in an orderly manner, opening his mouth and saying in surprise, "How is this possible, if I wasn't watching the battle from the side, I would have thought there were other reinforcements!"
"How can there be such a divine soldier in the world, you can shoot arrows without changing arrows!" Jiang Xiao looked at the short crossbow in Yu Linwei's hand incomprehensibly.
After a while, Dian Wei was also a little surprised to look at the results of the Yulinwei arrow array, looked at the corpses that were dyed red with snow all over the ground, and then looked at the crossbow in his hand and smacked his tongue and said, "Tut, fortunately I borrowed this treasure from the shadow guard, otherwise there are so many people, even if I am Yulinwei, I really can't kill it." β
"Anyway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really powerful, and this thing studied by those craftsmen and masters is too terrifying, what is it called a crossbow, forget it."
Then he complained, "It's just too difficult to make, and the arrows stored in a crossbow are really limited!" The range is also a little shorter. β
After thinking about it, he snickered and said, "If the number of crossbows is enough, the arrows are enough, and then it can shoot far away with a little more power, then it doesn't feel like I need to take action in person." β
Dian Wei looked at the forbidden army on the field who was intimidated by the crossbow again, and said excitedly, "My old Dian's subordinates don't just know how to shoot arrows, brothers, give it to me, let them take a good look at the power of our Royal Highness the Prince, Yu Linwei, kill!" β
"Kill!" The Yulin guards threw down their longbows and crossbows, lifted their round shields and spears, and rushed towards the remaining forbidden troops on the field.
Jiang Xiao, who was stunned, finally came back to his senses at this moment, raised his knife, and shouted, "Brothers, kill!" Protect the emperor and avenge the brothers who died tonight. β
The remaining military attachΓ©s of the forbidden army looked behind them in fear, and when they saw that there were still a lot of forbidden troops, they mustered up some courage, and said with a sigh of relief, "Brothers, don't be afraid, we still have the advantage in numbers, like at the beginning, we will run over and rush together!" β
Despite the superiority in numbers, the remaining forbidden soldiers still lost their sharpness at the beginning, so they had to raise their knives and rush towards Dian Wei's Yu Linwei. β
The flesh and blood of the two armies collided, and the Yu Linwei in the front row used a round shield to block the forbidden army that came from the front row, and the forbidden army in the front row squeezed the Yu Linwei who was covered in bright armor fiercely, trying in vain to break through the battle formation.
Dian Wei, who took the lead, turned his head behind him and yelled, "Break!" β
Suddenly, the forbidden troops in the front row were overturned to the ground, followed by spears with flashing cold light, and as soon as they simply entered and exited, they took away the lives of the forbidden guards.
The guards of the forbidden army who came then roared and rushed up, in a vain attempt to die with Yu Linwei, and no longer cared about the defense, desperately attacking, Yu Linwei was caught off guard, who knows, the long knife of the forbidden army slashed on Yu Linwei's flower armor, and actually left only a white mark.
The forbidden soldier looked at the long knife in his hand in surprise and opened his mouth in disbelief, then turned around and ran, shouting in his mouth, "It's a heavenly soldier!" The emperor's heavenly soldiers are coming to the rescue, run! β
The military attachΓ©s of the forbidden army killed a few deserters in a fit of rage, shouting, "Don't run!" If you run, you will die! Come back to me! β
However, those forbidden soldiers who had already been frightened still listened to their superiors, threw down the long swords and short swords in their hands, and ran towards the palace gate behind them regardless of their legs.
