Chapter 251: The Cloud Arrow Breaks Through the Sky by 3,000 Feet
These days, the eyes of the entire continent are all gathered in Yuzhou, gathered in this war between the Shi family and the Daxi family.
For a long time, although there have been many frictions and filths between the various forces of the human race, under the huge survival pressure brought by the demons, the already disadvantaged human race has to abandon their grievances with each other and join hands to resist the enemy. Among the dozens of powerhouses in the god realm that appeared in history, not no one thought of unifying the human race, but in that case, the already crumbling human race needed to unite all the forces that could be united, and it couldn't withstand any internal strife and senseless attrition.
No matter which family or force has a god-strong person, he will become the leader of the entire human race, leading the large and small families and sects of the human race to resist the iron hooves of the demon race, and looking for a glimmer of life for the human race to reproduce in the bloody battle again and again.
After the disappearance of the demons, Shi Xuanlai, the ancestor of the Shi family, became the first god powerhouse in the history of the human race who did not need to fight against the demons as the leader of the human race.
In the more than 300 years that Shi Xuanlai has been alive, although other forces have been faintly pressed by him, these family sects that have been inherited for tens of thousands of years also have their own hole cards, and the Shi family, as a newly rising force, is more important to recuperate and consolidate their strength, so there is not much friction between them. And between other forces, although there is occasional friction, they are also controlled within a certain range and degree, so as not to get out of control and create an opportunity for Shi Xuanlai in the realm of the gods.
After Shi Xuanlai's death, the status of Yunqi City, which had only one city, gradually declined, and the Zhan family, the royal family, launched an attack on all the families, but was strangled by the eight great families, and the 10,000-year foundation was overturned, giving up the imperial throne to the Yu family.
Except for this time, there has never been any large-scale war between the top families of the human race, until now.
Ordinary people took the latest battle situation from Yuzhou as an after-dinner conversation, speculating about what kind of purpose was hidden behind the seemingly reckless actions of the city lord of Yunqi City, and whether this cavalry could return to Yunqi City safely;
And those top families, like sharks smelling blood, are looking at whether their families can gain any benefits in this war, and how they can maximize this benefit;
There are also people who watch all this happen with worry, worried about whether this will become a split of the human race, and set off the fuse of civil war. Compared with tens of thousands of years of war, the arrival of peace is only a thousand years, which is really precious to the human race. If the smoke rises again, then no one dares to guarantee what kind of changes will happen to the fate of every ordinary person, and where the fate of the entire human race will go.
After the cavalry of Yunqi City captured Yongsi City, whether it was the Daxi family or the Shi family, there was no new move for a while. However, everyone knows that all this is only temporary, and once both are ready, the next collision will be more violent than every previous one!
Just when the military opportunity of the Daxi family was opened, and the elders went to various places to join the Eight Cavalry of the Dark Snow and dispatch troops, the Shi family, who was originally thought to be able to defend the city, took the lead in making a move.
After three days of rest, the Moon Swinging Dragon Rider left Yongsi City at night and rushed towards Guangling City, which was more than 300 miles away.
Guangling City, is the largest city in the southeast of Yuzhou in addition to the Thundering City, located in the east and west traffic arteries of Yuzhou, backed by Wenfeng Mountain, the geographical location is very important, so the troops stationed are also a lot more than Yongsi and Yueyang City, reaching 12,000 people.
After the two cities of Yueyang and Yongsi were taken by the Shi family in a semi-sneak attack, the other eight or nine cities close to these two cities entered a state of highest alert, always guarding against possible uninvited guests.
When the Moon Rider tore through the night and appeared under Guangling City, several signal flares that rose one after another had already reflected the entire city under a bright red light.
Although it was the most sleepy pre-dawn of the night, the defenders of Guangling City did their duty well, and now, the Swinging Moon Dragoons who wanted to enter the city had to face the thousands of garrison soldiers on the four-zhang high city wall, as well as the longbows and crossbows in their hands.
The Moon Dragon Rider stopped at a distance of about 200 zhang from the walls of Guangling City, a distance far beyond the range of the defenders' bows and arrows. You must know that an ordinary sergeant, if he can shoot an arrow at a distance of fifty zhang and hit it accurately, he can be called a sharpshooter, if the range can reach eighty zhang, then even among thousands of people, can be regarded as one of the best existences, and the range can reach 100 zhang and above, it is even rarer. But if it is a city crossbow, it can barely reach a distance of 200 zhang and maintain a certain lethality.
There was a toothy sound of wooden shafts turning on the city walls, and it was the more than a dozen city crossbows adjusting their angles. The disrepair made the rotation of these fortified treasures seem a little jerky and clumsy, but no one doubted how much damage these big guys would bring to these cavalrymen from afar in front of them once they were ready.
"Attention Yaolei Battalion, put away the guns!" Le Zhengzhan gave an order, including Shi Zhiyi, thousands of cavalrymen of the Swinging Moon Dragoon hung the Xuantie spear in their hands in the gun pouch on the right side of their mount.
"Bow and arrow!"
Under the uniform movement, thousands of black iron longbows were pulled apart like a full moon, and long arrows inlaid with steel scissors were placed on the bowstring. It is worth mentioning that the long arrows on each bowstring are not one, but as few as four, as many as nine, which is the necessary nine-star moon-chasing archery for every moon-swinging dragoon.
Guangling City, above the city.
The flaming torches illuminated the city, but it was still late at night, and the firelight could only shine as far as three or four feet away, and if it was farther, it would be completely unclear.
The garrison soldiers could tell the enemy by listening to the sound, but when the Moon Dragoon stopped, they couldn't tell what the enemy was doing.
The current situation can be said to be that Guangling City is in the light, and the moon dragon is in the dark.
"The cavalry of Yunqi City has stopped, what are they doing?"
"I seem to hear the sound of a bow. ”
"What are you kidding, the place where the sound of horses' hooves disappeared is at least more than two hundred zhang away from us, this distance, even the city crossbow may not be able to reach, if they shoot arrows, I'm afraid they won't even be able to reach the edge of the city wall!"
"I understand what you say, but why do I still feel uneasy?"
Just when the defenders of Guangling City were still talking, a neutral voice spread throughout the entire Yaolei Battalion.
"The target, the defenders on the walls of Guangling City and the city crossbow, carry out targeted elimination and suppression!"
In the darkness of the night, thousands of long arrows shot out, with a scream that tore through the air, drawing almost identical arcs in the air, and shooting towards the city in the distance!
