Chapter 12: Deterrence
Two-thirds of the speed of sound makes the sewing needle, which is no more than three miles of weight, also have a lot of penetration and power, and the soft armor on the two second-grade masters of the inner door is not completely blocked, and even penetrates, and the bending and rolling of the flying needle in the inside of the limbs also brings more injuries. This is also mixed with the damage caused by a little aconitum poison.
Of course, this does not seem to be a light injury to ordinary people, but it is not much of an injury for the two second-grade masters of the inner door. It didn't even make the combat effectiveness of the two of them obviously affected.
But even so, the shock that such an attack brought to the two masters who rushed to the front was huge, and the higher the cultivation and knowledge, the more they understood what such an attack meant. It means that this time he will face a top master of about six or seven grades of the inner door, and only such a top master will have such an attack ability when operating the flying needle. Therefore, the two people who had just heard it planned to send a signal to the eight masters of the inner door who followed behind, telling the people who came with them to be careful.
But at this time, Zhang Fan's attack did not stagnate, after just shooting two syringes, he once again used the wall of the house in the courtyard to once again launch a projectile with the help of forward momentum, the force in his hand and the internal force, and almost a few seconds later, the second round of flying needles was hit at the two of the eight figures who followed behind.
Maybe it's because they don't have much knowledge, but the eight masters of the inner door who came over behind didn't have so much filtering and exquisiteness, and when they saw that there was an enemy in the courtyard in front of them blocking and intercepting, they immediately threw themselves with a flying knife with a silk rope.
Because the internal force of the inner door has not yet reached the point of being lethal to the point of being released, the master with a silk cord often uses a hidden weapon with a silk cord to kill and damage the opponent at the largest distance above the battle array. Different from ordinary outer door masters, they can skillfully combine internal force skills and outer door projection skills in this situation, and more accurately control the flying knife in a distance to track and pursue enemies who may evade at any time within a range.
Zhang Fan understood that if he was fighting in a place like a martial arts arena where there was no obstruction at all, he would not be the opponent of the eight inner door first-class masters at all. However, in this kind of street-like environment, which can be effectively covered by terrain features, it is completely different.
After throwing the syringes of his hands with all his might, Zhang Fan curled up as fast as he could, covering his head and hands under the high walls of the courtyard, and at the same time lifting his shield to cover him.
Almost at the same time, at least eight throwing knives also accurately hit the high wall in front of him. The combined attack of eight masters of the inner door was extraordinary, and it seemed that it was not inferior to some field guns in the era of smoothbore black powder. The heavy, crossbow-like throwing knife blasted through the heavy stone courtyard wall in an instant, and hit the shield with a splash of rubble.
The violent impact caused Zhang Fan to fly backwards violently, flying in through the window of the house, causing the frightened screams of a young girl hiding under the bed in the boudoir during the war.
What Zhang Fan didn't see was that, unlike the two second-grade masters of the inner door, the two first-grade masters of the inner door who were attacked did not have such strong body skills and resistance, one of them was penetrated by a powerful sewing needle that was still heavy on the upper body, and the sewing needle that lost energy was also left in the stomach, and at least two of the limbs were hit. The other was unfortunately pierced through the mouth by a flying needle in the rain of needles, leaving at least three or four pinholes on his body.
As an inner door master, the resistance to damage is also comparable to ordinary people, because there is no strange poison on the needle that is difficult for the inner door master to resist, and the specifications are much smaller than the flying needle hidden weapons commonly used in ordinary rivers and lakes, and the three people who were hit did not suffer too serious injuries, and they were still able to stand up.
It's just that the needle rain that spread in the middle of the way at two-thirds the speed of sound just now made these ten people feel a huge pressure, because people have realized that there is a very high probability that there is a top master in this Shanyang City who has estimated the six or seven grades of the inner gate to come to the battle. If this is the case, then the entire siege operation will have to be overhauled.
"Hurry up! Don't delay! Don't be fooled by that person's appearance!" Of course, an old man with a sixtieth rank or so in the inner door who was in the second rank of the inner door at the head of the group felt that the person within the wall seemed to have been hit and beaten out under the joint attack of the eight inner door first-rank masters.
However, compared to that terrifying attack, such a weak defense and dodging ability was almost incredible, so the second-rank master of the inner door led by him could be roughly convinced: the appearance of the opponent just now was very likely to be pretended.
Hearing such words, the ten inner door masters did not dare to delay, shook their bodies and flew away. When Zhang Fan escaped from the boudoir of the lady of the big family who was temporarily sheltered in the street battle, and was about to pursue again, the ten masters of the inner door who were concentrated had already left at a high speed, and Zhang Fan asked himself that he could only reach the speed of the eight or nine masters of the outer door with a special footwork, and it was obvious that he might not be able to catch up.
Despite this, Zhang Fan did not hesitate to fly up and get as close as possible to the central tower in the center of the city, preparing for more attacks approaching from other places.
As Zhang Fan expected, although the ten inner gate masters who felt that they were all in danger retreated slightly, the more than sixty outer gate nine rank masters who came from all directions at the fastest speed and carried a unique strong crossbow were divided into six groups with a team of ten people, but they still began to approach from all directions.
Of course, Zhang Fan didn't dare to be exposed to dozens of top masters of the outer gate at the same time as a target, but found a blacksmith workshop near the central tower and was close to the courtyard wall to be ready to shoot at any time.
At this time, a team composed of ten outer gate masters of the Four Nations Alliance Army seemed to use the silk linked by a strong crossbow to climb up from the bottom of the central tower, and the warriors above the tower seemed to be difficult to attack because of the angle, which also made Zhang Fan sigh secretly: Maybe because of the prosperity of martial arts, the city walls or other fortifications are often only useful for small soldiers and cannot defend against masters, it seems that most of the ordinary city fortifications in this world have not put much effort into defense at all. If it is a fortress-style tower, or even a slight inclination, it will not be so.
