Chapter 147: Lose your armor
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the rain of arrows reached the sky above the chaotic crowd, and the bandits, who were still laughing at the middle-aged people just now, saw the rain of arrows coming, and instantly became bloodless.
The bandit hurriedly took steps, wanting to hide behind the middle-aged people before the rain of arrows arrived, and use his body to resist the rain of arrows shot down from the city.
Call! Laugh at!
An iron arrow, far faster than the others, pierced the sky, instantly passed through the thief's chest, and nailed to the ground.
Looking at the bloody hole in his chest in a daze, with a shocked look, the bandit weakly let go of his right hand that grabbed the blade and fell to the ground.
At the same time, more than 50 arrows were fired into the crowd, and most of them were bandits, because there were very few people still standing.
The bandits were not given a chance to react at all, and the first wave of arrow rain just landed, and the second wave of arrow rain hit again.
In the face of the hordes of bandits, the archers on the city wall did not need to aim at all, and the distance of more than 70 steps (about 100 meters) was still basic for them.
At this time, the advantage of the strength attribute is perfectly reflected, and the strength far beyond ordinary people allows the archers to quickly pull the bowstring and shoot iron arrows.
The continuous rain of arrows made the bandits have no ability to fight back, because the first target that Zhang Tie and the others killed was the archers among the bandits.
In just a few breaths, the archers on the city wall had already shot five arrows, that is, five waves of arrow rain had formed, and as for Zhang Tie, he had already shot ten arrows, almost one arrow a second.
Five waves of arrows rained down, and the bandits directly killed and injured more than 100 people, and most of them were archers, which made the bandits start to be weak in the next siege.
Because there are less than 100 archers, they can no longer pose much of a threat to the people in the city.
"The shield men stepped forward to protect the archers."
Seeing that the bandits below had recovered from the chaos and had already begun to fight back, Zhang Tie ordered to the soldiers holding shields.
The shield bearer is not a shield bearer recognized by the system, but all soldiers with a shield on the city wall are called shield bearers.
Among the more than 350 people, nearly 200 were shield bearers, and the rest except for 60 Wudang disciples, the remaining 90 were spearmen.
Hearing Zhang Tie's order, the shield-wielding soldier who had been standing behind the archers immediately raised his shield and put it in front of the archers to protect the archers from the arrows fired by the enemy archers.
As soon as the shield bearer raised his shield, the counterattack outside the city had just begun, and more than a hundred iron arrows were fired from the bows and arrows in the hands of the bandits and shot at the city walls.
Compared with the first wave of arrow rain of bandits, the aggressiveness of this wave of bandits is a little weak, not only is the number less, but many arrows are directly over the city wall and shot into the city.
Obviously, it was just a hurried counterattack, and the quasi-head or something was no longer in their scope of consideration, and they just wanted to suppress the firepower on the city wall again.
The iron arrow hit the shield with a clanging sound, and in the face of this wave of attacks from the bandits, Zhang Tie miraculously did not have any injuries.
Dodging a rain of arrows from the bandits, the archers once again showed their heads and pointed an arrow at the bandits outside the city.
Zhang Tie pulled the bowstring and aimed an arrow at a bandit who pushed the collision car, and then immediately fired another arrow, the target was still the thief who pushed the collision car.
On average, it takes more than one breath (five seconds) for a bandit to shoot an arrow, which is already very fast, but compared to the archers in the border city and county, it is obviously not enough.
In the interval after the bandit shoots an arrow, the archers of the border city county can shoot two arrows, not to mention Zhang Tie, and fire the bow at least four times in one breath.
From the moment Zhang Tie began to give the order to shoot at will, in just twenty breaths (about a minute), the bandits had already killed and injured more than five hundred, and the archers of the bandits were almost dead.
"Help me, help me!"
A bandit with an arrow in the abdomen looked at his companion beside him, covering his wound with one hand and reaching out to his companion with the other.
The bandit's companion looked at the thief with an arrow in the abdomen in horror, and froze in place, and after a while, the bandit ran back, dropping his weapon as he ran, for fear that he would run slower because of an extra weapon.
Under the strong shooting of Zhang Tie and others, more than half of the bandits who were the vanguard had been killed or wounded, and this casualty had exceeded the psychological defense line of many bandits.
No matter how ferocious the bandits are, they will be afraid in the face of such a situation, for fear that they will be the next to die.
So, they were frightened, frightened, and threw down their weapons, turned around, and ran back, but unfortunately, they were now within the range of the archers, and if they wanted to escape from the effective range of the archers on the city walls, they had to run fifty paces (about sixty-five meters) and reach a distance of one hundred and twenty paces (about one hundred and fifty meters).
Seeing that the enemy had been killed and had begun to be defeated, Zhang Tie immediately implemented the plan he wanted to implement from the beginning.
"Yan Beichen, Wudang sent disciples to follow me out of the city to kill the enemy! The archers continued to shoot and waited until we were close to the target, then stopped shooting. ”
"Yes!"
When the archers had answered, they were silent, and once again took out an iron arrow, put it on the bowstring, and continued to shoot at the fleeing bandits.
Yan Beichen and Wei Yan and other Wudang sect disciples also responded one after another, and then ran towards the city.
Zhang Tie turned around, picked up the honor guard Fang Tian's painting halberd from the ground behind him, glanced at the dead Gao Fei, and walked downstairs, "You can go with peace of mind, I will go to avenge you." ”
Under the city gate, more than 70 horses lined up at the city gate, which Zhang Tie had prepared for the bandits at the beginning, but they were delayed by the people, and now, it is time to use them.
Zhang Tie, Yan Beichen and the others rode their respective horses one after another, and took out long weapons or iron knives, on horseback, the effect of the sword was not as good as that of a knife.
As early as when Zhang Tie came down, he had already ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and drawbridge.
As soon as the city gate opened, Zhang Tie took the lead in rushing to the gate with the honor guard Fang Tian's halberd, and Yan Beichen and others followed behind.
......
Outside the West Gate City, not far from the bandit camp, the bandit leaders who had been riding on their horses and had been in a wait-and-see state looked at their subordinates who had fled in the wilderness, all of them with an unbelievable look.
They didn't expect that just a little chaos created by the people, the archers on the city wall actually brought them a heavy blow, directly killing the courage of their subordinates.
On the city wall, the archer's shooting speed was also a little incomprehensible to them, and they were very shocked, this speed of drawing the bow is something that a small soldier can have, and it is completely something that a centurion or above can do.
"It's over, it's all over!"
The bandit leader looked at his subordinates who had lost their armor and lost their armor, with a dejected expression, and looked blankly at his companions who were also at a loss, and couldn't help but think of what a small leader said yesterday.
"He is a terrible devil, he has many very powerful minions, all of them are extremely powerful, one is three, in the face of us bandits and bandits, he has never lost, there are bandits who meet him, and there are still alive, he has always killed all our bandits, leaving no room for life."
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that he is here, let's withdraw, I don't want him to cut off my head and put it on the city wall for the people to see."
Remembering the look of the little leader talking about the soldiers of Border City County at that time, now the leader of the bandits understood why he was so scared, and why he immediately fled with his own people as soon as he knew that it was the soldiers of Border City County who came to support.
"It turns out that what he said is true, he is really the devil! His minions are also the devil! ”
