The early morning sun shone on the earth, not only did not make everyone feel warm, but felt a little cool.

On the wall of the West Gate, seeing that the bandits were getting closer and closer to the city wall, it was less than one hundred and fifty steps (about two hundred meters), which was already within the effective range of the archers on the city wall.

Bi Yongchun, who had not slept all night, stared at a pair of big bloodshot eyes, knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Tie, and the great god pleaded: "My lord, please give the order to shoot!" ”

With Bi Yongchun's kneeling order, Yan Beichen and Yao Yunzheng also stepped forward one after another, kneeling on one knee, "My lord, please give the order to shoot!" ”

Wei Yan on the edge of the city wall looked at the three people who asked for the order in a daze, and was silent for a while.

After turning around and looking at the soldiers around him, Wei Yan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally knelt on one knee like Yan Beichen and the others, and said to Zhang Tie: "My lord, please give the order to shoot." ”

The four centurions all asked for orders, how could Zhang Tie not know the reason, but looking at the more than 300 people outside the city who were pushed forward by the bandits, Zhang Tie was still a little unable to speak.

It's obviously a matter of one sentence, but Zhang Tie just can't open his mouth, because this opening decides the lives of more than 300 innocent people.

It is often said that you can't pick up the sesame seeds and discard the watermelon, the minority obeys the majority, and the interests of the public must be the first to consider everything in the past, and this is exactly the case in the current situation.

Zhang Tie looked at Wei Yan and the others who were still kneeling below, and then glanced at the soldiers on the city wall.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall were also looking at Zhang Tie, with a different kind of expectation in their eyes, as for what they were expecting, only they knew it.

Being watched by more than four hundred pairs of blazing eyes, Zhang Tie felt a pain in his heart, and finally glanced at the people outside the city who were pushed by the bandits, Zhang Tie closed his eyes and raised his right hand, "The archers obey the order." ”

Whew!

With Zhang Tie's order, more than fifty archers took out an iron arrow from the quiver behind their backs, pinched it in their hands, and put it on the bowstring, but their eyes were still looking at Zhang Tie, waiting for Zhang Tie to take the order.

"Shoot freely at the back bandits, remember, don't shoot at the crowd in front of you, so as not to injure the people by mistake."

As soon as Zhang Tie's voice fell, the archers began to pull the bowstrings, aiming at the bandits behind the people and starting to shoot.

Seeing that Zhang Tie gave this kind of order, Wei Yan and the others were also in a complicated mood, although Zhang Tie did not agree to their request, but his approach and kind heart were still recognized and gratified by them.

Just as Zhang Tie said at the beginning, they are weapons in the hands of the people, and if they shoot the people they want to protect, there will definitely be a lot of resistance in their hearts.

If it was really after giving the order to shoot at will, even if they were victorious, it is estimated that these soldiers would be in a lost mood, and they would definitely remember what happened today in their minds.

Whew!

The sound of a rain of arrows cutting through the air sounded in the air, and in an instant, it was above the more than three hundred bandits in the rear.

The people who were pushed forward heard the sound in the air, and they all closed their eyes, waiting for the arrow to pass through.

One of the people muttered to himself, "Let me devote my next life to a rich and peaceful country." ”

After a long time, they did not feel the iron arrow, and the people looked at the sky in confusion, only to realize that the soldiers on the city wall did not shoot at them, but at the bandits in the rear.

The people who were ready to face death all trembled and opened their mouths, and looked at the soldiers on the city wall in a stunned manner, and their bodies were still under the push and shove of the bandits, moving forward.

The more than 300 bandits in the back also kept staring at the top of the city wall, and when they saw the archers showing their heads, they all held their shields in their hands, held them above their heads, ready to resist the rain of arrows, and continued to advance.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The arrows clanged against the iron sheets, and each bandit paused slightly when the arrow hit the shield in his hand, and then continued on his way.

A rain of arrows fell, and except for a few unlucky ones who were shot and wounded, none of the more than 300 bandits died.

Although he had thought that the effect would definitely not be very good, Zhang Tie definitely did not expect that after this wave of arrow rain, none of the bandits outside the city died, but a few unlucky people were injured.

Zhang Tie frowned, picked up a short compound bow, took out an arrow from his quiver, put on the bowstring, and shot at a bandit who was pushing a crashed car among the common people.

Sou!

The iron arrow shot directly through the bandit's head, killing him instantly, but the car continued to move forward without stopping because of the death of one person.

Zhang Tie made three arrows in succession, each arrow took the life of a bandit who pushed the crashed car, but the effect was still low, because the thieves kept making up for it, and they didn't seem to be afraid of death.

On the wall of the West Gate, Zhang Tie shot arrow after arrow at the bandit who pushed the crashing car, in addition to Zhang Tie, Jiang Jianhua, who also had a hand in the bow and arrow, was also shooting the bandit who was pushing the crashing car.

The continuous attacks of the two finally slowed down the speed of the collision, but it did not stop the collision completely, and the collision was still firmly moving towards the west gate.

More than fifty archers have also been shooting at the back bandits, the effect is still low and pitiful, except for more than twenty particularly unlucky, or shields were shot to the bandits, injured or killed, the other bandits are still unharmed, at most it is just a sore arm.

took out an iron arrow from the quiver again, Zhang Tie was about to put it on the bowstring, his eyes inadvertently aimed at the bandits in the people, and found that the cold light flashed, but the bandits mixed in the people were bending their bows and arrows.

It turned out that the bandits had already unknowingly reached a distance of less than seventy-five steps (about a hundred meters) from the inner city wall, and this distance, if you use bows and arrows, you can already shoot from the ground to the city wall, because it has reached the effective range of the archers.

(Note: Shooting from the bottom up is not the same as shooting down from the city.) ）

Zhang Tie, who found the situation below, changed his complexion, and hurriedly reminded everyone loudly: "Hurry up and hide, be careful of the attack of the bandits below." ”

Zhang Tie's prompt made the soldiers on the city wall slightly stunned, and the extraordinary nervous reaction made them all react instantly, except for the soldiers with shields, everyone else hid at the base of the wall.

As he spoke, Zhang Tie had already dropped the iron arrow, and picked up the shield that had been prepared long ago from under his body, which was the [Eternal Palace] that had not been used for a long time.

Zhang Tie took the [Eternal Palace] and put it on the wall in front of him, but he didn't expect that the [Eternal Palace] was just stuck in the wall, perfectly forming a fortification.

And just when Zhang Tie had just put the [Eternal Palace] away, a rain of arrows shot out from the crowd of people below, and the direction was on the city wall where Zhang Tie and the others were stationed.

Whew!

The sound of the rain of arrows breaking through the air sounded above the city wall, and Zhang Tie looked at the dense arrows through the shield through the particularity of the [Eternal Palace], like a raging storm, and struck towards the city wall.

Looking at the dense arrows, Zhang Tie's face was heavy, and the eyebrows on his forehead were already glued together, "Looking at the situation of the arrow rain, there are more than two hundred archers of the bandits outside the city. ”
