Chapter 343: Ruthless Killing

The second round of shooting was much more accurate than the previous one. More than forty beasts were killed by crossbow arrows, including three lions, four tigers, ten leopards, and more than thirty wolves.

The main reason is that this time the crossbow arrows were almost flying close to the ground, and there was a barrier of feathered arrows in the array, and when the beast crossed the barrier, it happened to be hit by the arrow.

This time, the nearest beast was less than three hundred steps away from the ballista, and the ballista soldiers looked at the surging beast army, frightened, they didn't wait for Song Qi's order, and they didn't have time to aim, so they pressed the shooting button again.

"Whoosh!" Hundreds of arrows shot out.

"Puff~Puff~Puff~" Dozens of beasts fell to the ground with arrows, but the other beasts continued to rush forward. It's already two hundred paces away.

The war horses in Song Qi's camp were terrified and kept retreating backwards.

Song Qi pulled the reins so hard that he almost broke the reins before he pulled the horse back.

Song Qi suppressed the huge fear in his heart, waved his hand to the archer, and ordered with a slight tremor in his voice: "The archer is ready to release the arrow!" Wait for 10,000 arrows to shoot and destroy all these beasts for me! ”

The five thousand archers had long been frightened by the attack of the beasts, and after listening to Song Qi's order, they trembled and pulled up their bows and arrows.

"Put!" Song Qi shouted.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~" Ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and countless arrows poured down in the direction of the fierce beast like a dense rainforest, and the momentum was very spectacular.

"Puff~Puff~Puff~" Dozens of wolves fell to the ground with arrows, and those tigers and leopards still rushed forward after being hit by arrows.

"Keep firing the arrows!" Song Qi ordered calmly, and at the same time, he himself raised his repeater and pulled the trigger several times at the first few black panthers. One panther was shot in the eye and fell to the ground and died, while the other two panthers were shot and still lunged forward.

Another dense burst of feathered arrows shot at the oncoming beast. This rain of arrows shot another forty or fifty beasts. Next, the stone-throwing carts, ballistas, bows and arrows were all useless, because the remaining hundred or so beasts had already rushed to the front.

Both men and horses in Song Qi's camp fell into the abyss of fear. This fear completely surpassed their fear when facing the flying stone volley, and even more so when they faced the ruthless trampling of the chain of ironclad horses.

Because on the other side is a beast that eats people without blinking. Man's absolute fear of beasts is innate. The horse's fear of predators comes from their bone marrow.

In the face of the surging beasts, thousands of war horses let out one after another terrifying neighing sounds at the same time, and all turned their heads and fled in a trembling manner. Song Qi couldn't pull it anymore, so he had to run and shoot back while giving an order to the soldiers: "Withdraw!" ”

All the soldiers were so frightened and frightened that they dropped the stone-throwing carts, ballistas, and cloud carts, turned around and ran.

Where can a two-legged man outrun a four-legged beast, and those who run behind are quickly overtaken by the beast. They looked back and saw that the beast was behind them, and there was no way out, so they had to fight the beast with their shields and swords in their hands, holding their shields and swords.

The beasts seemed to have been hungry for days, and when they saw people, they pounced on them like hungry tigers. When the hand-to-hand combat is in close proximity, those soldiers are simply the opponents of the beasts, not to mention that they are terrified, their legs and feet cramp, because there is no way to escape, they turn back to fight, and they are pounced on by the beasts after a few supports.

Like bloodthirsty devils, those tigers pounce on people and bite them down in one bite. Leopards bite off a person's head in one bite, while wild wolves tear humans apart with their sharp teeth.

In just a few breaths, hundreds of soldiers were called the food of the beast's belly.

The battlefield was unbearable, leaving hundreds of mutilated corpses on the ground, and fierce beasts with mouths full of blood, grinning and dancing their claws, chasing and biting soldiers with impunity.

And the soldiers fled like lost sheep, and those who ran slowly became the food of the beasts.

The horse under Song Qi's crotch also fled, and Song Qi couldn't pull it, so he stopped pulling it later, because fear also filled his whole heart.

But as the commander of the whole army, he can't bury his head and run away. He looked back as he ran. I saw tens of thousands of soldiers, driven by fear, scattering and fleeing like ants, trampling on each other. The beasts had burst into the crowd, tearing at the soldiers with impunity, and headless corpses had fallen on the battlefield. The sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls is endless. It's as if this is not a battlefield, but the eighteenth layer of hell.

At this time, Song Qi saw that in the left rear, almost a hundred paces away from him, a leopard covered in spots was pounced on a soldier who was running with its teeth and claws, and it was about to bite it. If this bites, the soldier will immediately become a headless ghost.

Song Qi bit his lip vigorously, calmed his panicked mind, stretched out his hand and forcibly stopped the unleashed galloping war horse, and while raising the repeater, the spotted leopard shot three arrows in a row.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~" The three arrows were as fast as lightning, shooting directly at the throat and eyes of the spotted leopard.

"Poof~", "Poof~", "Poof~", "Poof~" three dull voices came almost at the same time. All three arrows hit the spotted leopard's vital part! This time it was so accurate! The spotted leopard roared in pain and fell to the ground dead.

"Don't panic. Everyone joined hands to fight the beast. Song Qi shouted as he swung his crossbow and continued to shoot.

The soldiers listened to Song Qi's words and calmed down a little. When they saw Song Qi shoot the spotted leopard, the courage that had disappeared seemed to have returned, and they resolutely stopped their escape, turned around, brandished their weapons, and fought desperately with the beast.

Several wolves were killed, but many more were killed by tigers, lions and leopards.

After these beasts were controlled by the spell of the Xuanlan Daoist, their fear was reduced to zero, and their strength and ferocity were magnified by at least five times more than usual. Injuries don't affect their ability to kill in the slightest, and they won't stop killing unless they're completely killed.

In normal times, when fear is overcome, two soldiers are enough to subdue a wolf, two lieutenants are enough to subdue a leopard, and three members of the Ming and Zhu firms are enough to subdue a tiger or a lion.

Under the influence of fear, people's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. People are afraid. Unless he is very strong in martial arts, he can overcome his fear.

But now, a wild wolf controlled by the spell can rush from the left and right under the siege of dozens of soldiers, biting and tearing people apart.

The tiger's killing ability is even more amazing, and in its eyes, the soldiers who besiege it are simply grass mustard. Wherever the tiger rushes, it falls.

Although those soldiers were terrified, they were already in the place of death at this moment, and only by fighting with fierce beasts could they win a glimmer of life, so they were also quite hard.

Today, Song Qi worked hard and shot nine wolves and two leopards with a repeater. Although he sat down on the horse with great fear, it seemed to have gained a lot of courage from the encouragement of its master to shoot the beast one after another, and he was able to gallop to and fro from a hundred paces away from the beast, without any frustration.

Song Qi was adding arrows to the repeating crossbow when he suddenly felt a cold yin wind coming from behind, and the hairs on his back stood upside down...... (To be continued.) )
