Chapter Twenty-Four: The "Arrow" Greeting
In the blink of an eye, Qin Zhen led people to a distance of 100 steps in front of the courtyard gate, and found that the gate that was still open just now had been tightly closed. And the guards on the battlements are stretching their bows and arrows.
He had just been teased by Xiao Yao, and he was displeased: "Xiao Yao's nephew, whoever comes is a guest, is this your Xiao family's hospitality?"
Xiao Yao sneered: "Guest, my Xiao family didn't invite you to come. If you come uninvited, you are a thief! Since it is rare for you to come once, how can you be allowed to return empty-handed, I will give you an 'arrow' gift!" He saw that Qin Zhen and the others had already entered within a hundred steps, and waved his arm forward: "Release the arrow!"
Whoosh!
The rain of arrows in the sky, like locusts, shot overwhelmingly towards Qin Zhen and others. This is Xiao Yao's "arrow salute"!
Qin Zhen didn't expect Xiao Yao to be so decisive, and said that he would release the arrow. The silver-armored guards behind him were caught off guard, and several of them were shot by sharp feathered arrows, screamed a few times, and fell to the ground.
"Formation!" The silver-armored guards were worthy of being the elite of the Qin family, and after a slight commotion, they stabilized the formation. As soon as the commander of the silver-armored guards gave an order, there were fifty silver-armored guards, holding large round shields, blocking the front.
After the first round of arrow rain, Xiao Yao waved his hand forward again. The Xiao family guards who had just finished shooting retreated, and another group of guards stepped forward to make up for it.
Zhang Gong. Arrows. Play the strings.
This time, the feathered arrows shot at the silver-armored guards, but they were all blocked by the shields in front of them, and they did not achieve good results. Under the protection of the shield, the silver-armored guards slowly advanced and approached the gate of the Xiao family step by step. When they were still fifty paces away from the courtyard gate, they also took out their bows and arrows and began to counterattack.
Puff puff!
There were several Xiao family guards, and before they could withdraw after shooting the arrows, they were hit by the arrows shot by the silver-armored guards, and they screamed again and again. Xiao Yao immediately ordered someone to carry the injured guard down, and another guard filled the vacancy and began to shoot arrows at the silver-armored guard.
In this way, the Xiao family's guards and the Qin family's silver-armored guards began to shoot at each other. Although the Xiao family's guards stood on top of the high wall, they occupied a geographical advantage. But their opponent was the elite force of the Qin family. Not only strong, but also shielded cover. After several rounds of shooting, the casualties of the Xiao family's guards were much higher than those of the silver-armored guards.
Xiao Yao frowned, it seems that these ordinary guards are not the opponents of the silver-armored guards at all, and within half an hour, the silver-armored guards will break through the gate of the Xiao family. If the gate is forced and his father is breaking through, the Xiao family will definitely not be able to stop the joint attack of the Qin family and the Yan family.
He said to Zhanying to the side: "Zhanying, you go and inform Xiao Yi, who is guarding the council hall, and let him leave a team of black armor guards to protect my father's safety, and the rest of the people will rush here to support!" Zhanying nodded, and disappeared in place with a swish, and the figure swept towards the council hall.
The Xiao family's guards suffered heavy casualties, and most of them had fallen, while the advancing speed of the silver-armored guards had increased instead of decreasing. Just when they were still thirty steps away from the gate of Xiao's house, Xiao Yi rushed to the courtyard wall with a hundred and ten black armor squads. Xiao Yi made a gesture, and the hundred black-armored guards instantly divided into two groups, each group of fifty, all holding big bows.
"Hurry up, whoever is the first to arrive at the gate of the courtyard, I will remember his first credit!" the silver-armored guard commander shouted with a long knife in his hand. There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the silver-armored guards all howled and rushed to the door of the Xiao family's courtyard.
"Shoot!" Xiao Yi didn't talk nonsense, and directly gave an order to the black armor guard. The group of black-armored guards standing in front of them were full of vitality and shot their feathered arrows towards the silver-armored guards who were rapidly charging below.
Looking at the feathered arrows on the city wall, the silver-armored guards below didn't pay much attention. They thought that the people who released the arrows were still the ordinary guards of the Xiao family just now, which was similar to fishing for itches. Many of the guards only symbolically raised their shields to block slightly. In order to speed up the speed, some people wanted to be the first to rush to the gate to win the first credit, and they didn't even bother to raise their shields, and they threw their arms and ran wildly.
Puff puff!
The sharp feather arrows passed through the bodies of the silver-armored guards who rushed to the front, and stuck into the ground behind them, the ends of the feathered arrows buzzing and trembling. Xiao Yao nodded with satisfaction, the black armor guard is really the elite of the Xiao family, and his strength is unusual. Especially Xiao Yi's arrow, the power is even more amazing. The feather arrow pierced through the shield in the hand of one of the silver-armored guards of the Forge Realm, and passed through his heart, pinning the other silver-armored guard behind him to the ground.
Kill two birds with one stone, and also carry a shield! Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Yi in surprise, but he didn't expect Xiao Yi to be a hidden archery master. Xiao Zhong on the side looked at Xiao Yao's surprised expression and smiled slightly: "Second brother and I grew up in the Broken Ridge Mountain Range since we were children, and we make a living by hunting. He also took a bow and shot it.
The feathered arrow is like a meteor, with a whirring sound of breaking through the air. "Bang!" one of the silver-armored guards' head shattered, exploding into a cloud of blood mist. The feathered arrow was unabated, and shot towards the silver-armored guards behind it. The tremendous force shot down one of the ears of the silver-armored guard. The silver-armored guard covered his face and wailed loudly.
Xiao Zhong pursed his lips, a little dissatisfied: "I haven't used arrows for many years, and some hands are raw!"
A group of black-armored guards finished their arrows and raised their shields to resist the counterattack of the silver-armored guards. Another group of black-armored guards, who had already been ready, quickly stepped forward to attack downward. After a few rounds of arrows, the silver-armored guards lost a lot of manpower.
The leader of the silver-armored guards now finally realized that the people on the wall battlements were no longer the ordinary guards in front of them. He immediately commanded the silver-armored guards to defend them. The speed of their advance slowed down again.
Qin Zhen saw that the silver-armored guards had already lost a lot under the strong rain of arrows. Turning his head, he found that the white-clothed guards brought by Yan Zhou were still standing far away watching the battle, and they didn't mean to make a move. His face was a little displeased: "Brother Yan, are you here to see the play?"
was robbed by Qin Zhen, Yan Zhou's face was a little unnatural. He glanced at the white-clothed guard commander beside him, who nodded. He waved his arm and shouted, "Attack!" The white-clothed guard behind him picked up his bow and arrow unhurriedly and fired back at the black-armored guard on the battlement. But the white-clothed guards were as if they hadn't eaten, and their arrows were weak. Before many arrows approached the wall of the Xiao family's courtyard, they all fell down one after another.
Qin Zhen watched Yan Zhou perfunctory himself, and he was furious in his heart. But now that he is on the same front as the Yan family, he is not easy to attack. had to command his silver-armored guards to rush to the wall of the Xiao family's courtyard desperately. He stared at the rain of arrows on the wall, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: as long as he advanced thirty steps further, he could reach the gate of the Xiao family, and the bow and arrow of the Xiao family would not have any advantage. The Xiao family, who did not have Xiao Lie in the battle, was just a piece of fat on the chopping board, and they were left to slaughter.
Xiao Lie looked at the silver-armored guards below with a sneer on his face. It's not that easy to get close to the gate!
Wave after wave of ferocious charges of the silver-armored guards were forced back by the bows and arrows of the black-armored guards. One by one, the silver-armored guards fell. These 30 steps are like an insurmountable ditch.
Looking at the corpses of the silver-armored guards on the ground, Qin Zhen's heart was dripping blood. These are their own elites, and they have lost nearly a hundred silver-armored guards, but they have not pushed forward by half a point. He had to stop the attack of the silver-armored guards and continue, he could not afford such a loss.
Xiao Yao stood on the wall, looked at the silver-armored guards who were shrinking forward, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Qin family master, my 'arrow' face salute, are you still satisfied?" Looking at Xiao Yao's proud appearance, Qin Zhen's eyes erupted with fire.
"Hehe, if you want to get close to the gate of the Xiao family, what's so difficult?" Just when Qin Zhen was crazy, Mei Xing's arrogant voice sounded next to him.
