Chapter 90: The shield is as solid as a turtle
The captain was very nimble. He observed Gu Liman's words, reacted quickly, and immediately explained: "General, don't misunderstand, I didn't betray the city lord. Just now, a group of merchants from the Eastern Chu Kingdom came, saying that there was a great chaos in the city, and they didn't dare to stay here, so I begged me to let them out of the city. ”
"I was ordered to guard the city gates, so naturally I didn't dare to disobey them and let them out of the city. They suddenly burst out and seized me, killed many of the crossbowmen, and knocked the rest of the soldiers unconscious. Then they blew open the gates and went out of the city. ”
Gulman walked briskly to the city gate, inspected the place where the gate had been blown open, and asked the captain, "What kind of bomb did they use, and how powerful it would be?"
The captain had been knocked unconscious at that time, and he didn't see the Force Bomb made by Hua Ziyu, so he could only shake his head and say that he didn't know.
Gu Liman didn't have the heart to pursue these anymore. He judged that there must be something wrong with the group of merchants of the Eastern Chu Kingdom who hurriedly left the city in the middle of the night. It can be inferred from this that Princess Nia is most likely with them. So, he immediately ordered: "The royal guards gather and go outside the city to pursue those merchants of the Eastern Chu Kingdom." ”
Then he said to the captain who was guarding the gate, "Hurry up and go to the city lord's mansion and report to the emir city lord what happened here." Please don't let anyone out of the city. ”
The captain immediately nodded in agreement, and immediately turned around and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After walking out of the city and eastward for an hour, Hua Ziyu, Xia Xianlong, and Lu Yusheng stayed. Let the others take Princess Nia and the visiting group and continue to rush in the direction of Kashgar.
They stayed in order to take advantage of the darkness of night to set a trap on the road to intercept the pursuers behind.
First of all, Hanako made a bomb out of the silver threads, runes and other things he carried with him, and buried it in the path that the pursuers had to pass.
Then, the trio hid behind a sand dune not far from here. Hua Ziyu took out the Force Gun hidden in the storage equipment, handed it to Lu Yusheng and Xia Xianlong, and said, "Let's disperse." After the bomb explodes, you must hit them hard and hurt them, so that you can attract them, all of them, here. Other talent safety. Especially the general of that guard, he must be kept. ”
When Lu Yusheng agreed, his voice trembled a little. Most of the battles he participated in before were of a competitive nature, only dividing the victory and defeat regardless of life and death, which was a petty fight. Now, this time it's time to get serious, and he is very apprehensive.
Xia Xianlong has personally experienced the tide of beasts, and has seen the kind of monsters that are incomparably huge, and the big scene of overwhelming tides rushing over. The nerves are as tough as a tightrope.
He took the Force gun and said with a big grin, "Professor Hua, don't worry, you will definitely let them come and go." ”
Seeing Xia Xianlong so calm and relaxed, Lu Yusheng's mood also calmed down. He felt that Xia Xianlong was the peak of the fifth-level Force, and so was he. Since Xia Xianlong is so calm, it means that there is no difficulty. He should be able to do the same.
After ten or so minutes, Hua Ziyu felt the vibration in the distance, and immediately said, "They are here." ”
Lu Yusheng immediately cheered up, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, picked up the Force gun, and aimed at the place where the bomb was planted.
Xia Xianlong glanced at Lu Yusheng, who was a little nervous, and said, "Teacher Lu, don't be nervous. The first shot is the most difficult. After three shots, all your stress is gone. ”
Hua Ziyu nodded and said, "That's right." When the bomb goes off, you shoot, regardless of whether it is aimed or not. After firing a few shots, your mood is stable. ”
As they spoke, the three of them could already hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Xia Xianlong held the gun flat, pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and whispered: "There are really a lot of them, there are more than fifty." This should be in Dushant, all the members of the royal guard, right?"
Hua Ziyu nodded, "That's right, fifty-four came." This figure is consistent with what we have. ”
After a while, the royal guards led by Gu Liman had already entered the bomb trap area. Hua Ziyu let go of the silver thread in her palm.
On the bomb buried under the sand, a rune stopped working due to the absence of Hua Ziyu's Force input. The equilibrium state of the Force in the rune array was broken in an instant. There was enough Force stored in it, and a violent explosion immediately occurred.
The powerful shock wave generated by the explosion lifted several guards near the bomb directly into the air. Their internal organs had been shattered and they vomited blood and died on the spot. The war horses under their crotches were torn apart by the explosion a long time ago.
Outside the center of the explosion, within a radius of more than ten meters, the royal guards and their war horses under their crotches were staggered by the bombing, and the bomb fragments scarred them, and they could not fight in a short time.
Coulee is at the forefront. When the explosion occurred, he reacted extremely quickly, and rushed out more than twenty meters in a flash, dodging the impact of the explosion.
His figure had just stabilized, nervous, angry, and secretly glad when an Force bullet shot at his lower abdomen.
Gu Liman immediately turned his palm outwards and shouted "Shield!" The Force gushed out from his palm, forming a Force shield.
The duration of the Force Shield is very short, so the user must be extremely precise in timing. Gulman's ability to become the leader of the royal guard and his expertise in the Force Shield is one of the important pluses.
The Force Bomb slammed into the Force Shield, causing a violent explosion that split the Force Shield in an instant, but the Force Bomb's energy was also depleted and it fell.
At this time, two more Force bullets were fired one after another. However, the Force Shield bought time for Gulman. He immediately took the large shield he was carrying behind his back and stopped in front of him.
"Dang, dang" two crisp sounds, and two Force bullets hit the shield. I don't know what kind of material this shield is made of, blocking the two Force bombs, but it was unscathed.
Hua Ziyu found that he and Xia Xianlong shot the Force Bomb at Gu Liman, but it didn't have any effect. And Gu Liman had already discovered the location of the three and was rushing towards the three.
Hua Ziyu immediately shouted: "You two shoot other guards, I'll meet this guy!"
Lu Yusheng and Xia Xianlong immediately adjusted their direction and began to name the guards who had not yet reacted from the shock of the explosion just now.
The high level of these Guardian Force is only the fifth intermediate level, and the lower level is only the fourth intermediate level. Lu Yusheng and Xia Xianlong are both fifth-level peak strength, and the Force weapons they use are all sophisticated equipment brought from Furong Academy. Those guards couldn't stop the Force bombs fired by the two of them.
After being shot by each of the two, the others finally reacted and immediately lay on the ground, or hid behind the war horse, and no longer appeared to rise.
Because the purpose of the three of them is to delay the pursuers and buy time for Princess Nia. Seeing that the royal guards were all hiding, Lu Yusheng and Xia Xianlong also stopped shooting, and both sides were waiting for the opportunity.
Hua Ziyu had already fired five Force Bombs at Gu Liman, but they were all stopped by Gu Liman's huge shield.
Gu Liman had already rushed to the bottom of the sand dune, and suddenly jumped up, with a large shield in front of him, and the scimitar in his right hand was raised high, slashing down at Hua Ziyu from the air.
Hua Ziyu put away the Force gun, quickly pinched the hand with both hands, and shouted: "Get up!" Immediately after, the wind around him was agitated, flying sand and rocks, forming four small tornadoes, and swept into the air Gu Liman.
This is Hua Ziyu's best "four-door blockade", and the four tornadoes are like four pythons, entangling the target, making it difficult for him to move and slow down. A cultivator whose strength was one level lower than him had no way to break through the blockade at all.
Gu Liman snorted coldly when he saw it, "Carving insect skills." As he spoke, the scimitar in his hand changed direction and slashed diagonally at the four tornadoes that swept over. The cold sword qi directly slashed the four tornadoes into eight sections, which quickly dissipated.
The realm of Hua Ziyu and Gu Liman is almost the same. He didn't expect four tornadoes to trap Gulman. His purpose was to delay Gulman for a moment so that he could prepare for battle.
There was an instant extra knife on his right hand, and he slammed it up from the bottom to the top. Gulman also raised his knife again and slashed down.
It's just that the momentum of this second knife is much worse than the first knife just now, when the anger was booming and the spirit was at its peak.
Just listen to the crisp sound of "dang!", the war knife and the scimitar collided together, and the fierce force collision caused the strong air flow around the two of them, stirring up a piece of dust, plus the sand and dust raised by the four tornadoes just now, before the dust settled, making this area full of sand and dust.
The people outside couldn't see the situation inside clearly, and could only hear the first "dang!" collision, which immediately erupted, and a collision sound as rapid as striking iron.
When the smoke and dust cleared, I saw two figures standing opposite each other more than a meter apart.
Hua Ziyu lunged and collapsed, sideways the knife, his left hand on the knife surface, the tiger's mouth held the back of the knife, and his eyes were fixed on Gu Liman's shield.
Gu Liman's legs were slightly bent, his feet were apart, most of his body was hidden behind the shield, the scimitar in his right hand was attached to the outside of the shield, and his two eyes were staring at Hua Ziyu's left hand.
The fierce battle just now, although the time was short, was thrilling. Hua Ziyu thought that although Gu Liman was good at using a shield, the shield was heavy and inconvenient, and his physical flexibility would inevitably be reduced, so he only needed to swim quickly and look for flaws from behind him.
But Hua Ziyu didn't expect that although Gu Liman's shield was heavy, it was very inflexible to move. But he did the opposite, using the shield as the axis, and his body was extremely flexible around the shield, no matter how Hua Ziyu circled around him, he could make Hua Ziyu's attack always towards the shield in the shortest possible time.
Then, he used his shield to unload his strength, and with a scimitar with lightning speed, he specifically attacked Hua Ziyu's ribs, legs, and lower abdomen.
This kind of combat skill is simple and practical, does not require much talent, and is most popular in the army. Even if you are not a cultivator, you can play it in a good way.
Gu Liman was born into a military family. For several generations, they were all generals of the Canaanite Federation. I have already eaten this popular combat skill of the army, and I have played it out.
The shield in his hand was made after several generations of hard work. Although it is only a sixth-level Force weapon, it is already stronger than an ordinary seventh-level Force weapon.
With this incomparably strong shield, the Gulman family has produced several generals of the royal guard.
On the one hand, this shows that the royal family makes good use of their family's knowledge. On the other hand, it also shows that this shield is the foundation of the Guliman family.
Without this sturdy shield, Gu Liman is just an ordinary sixth-level Force master, and he is not qualified to become a general of the royal guard.
It is precisely because of this shield that Gu Liman has the courage, and even if he encounters an ambush, he will not care about it, and come to fight with Hua Ziyu. Because he felt that Hua Ziyu couldn't break his shield defense anyway. As long as he catches it, a negligence when Hua Ziyu attacks, he can knock Hua Ziyu over.
However, he didn't expect that Hua Ziyu looked polite and polite, like a teacher (fog...... ), but the character is as hard as iron, and the moves used are even more domineering. Even if the sword frequently collided with his shield, he did not hesitate to scar.
Hua Ziyu was actually very depressed. He didn't expect Gulman's shield to be so strong. Moreover, Gu Liman was so shameless, following the turtle, the whole person shrank behind the shield. Every time he attacks, he returns in vain, not to mention, and if he doesn't do it, he will bite him back.
What a headache......
