Chapter Eighty-Five: An Arrow
When the distance in front of the city was about thirty or forty zhang, Zhiwu raised his right hand and signaled everyone to stop.
Further on, you are within range of the bow and arrow.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the corpses of Nanzhao soldiers piled up on a hill in front of the city gate.
At the head of the city gate, there was still a head that had long been dried with blood, and when the wind blew, the head followed suit.
A lifeless face, with two eyes wide open, staring ahead.
It's the Xuanshi next to Biyun Xuanshi!
Zhi Wu secretly gritted his teeth, and humiliated people like this!
At dawn, the scouts came to report that none of the soldiers who came to arrest the assassin last night survived, and even the mystical priest of the Divine Palace, who was armed with occult arts, folded in.
When Biyun Xuanshi heard this, he immediately became angry, and immediately asked the second prince Luo Yan to order troops and immediately attack Yaozhou, which was bound to take Yaozhou City in one fell swoop and avenge her capable subordinates.
Now, that Biyun Xuanshi is sitting in the rear of the army.
I knew that there was chaos in the middle of the rush, and the city lord suddenly fell off his horse for some reason, and he was trampled on a lot of injuries.
In desperation, he had no choice but to accept the order.
Ding Feng looked at Nanzhao's mighty army, but he was not afraid.
He drew the long sword at his waist and shouted loudly: "Nanzhao barbarian, treacherous!" This is the end of the unrighteous people! ”
With that, the long sword in his hand pointed directly at the head hanging in front of the city gate!
The soldiers of Yaozhou on the city wall immediately picked up their spears and shouted: "Treachery, this is the end!" ”
"Treachery, this is the end!"
There was a chill in Zhiwu's eyes, at this time, they should have taken the people of Yaocheng as hostages and killed the other party's morale in front of the battle.
Unexpectedly, the people of Yaocheng were let go by people taking advantage of the chaos.
Now, the soldiers on his side are in front of the corpse array, making the Zhou people proud of nothing.
He raised his hand and shouted: "The great country is unkind, slaughtering my prince Nanzhao, treating the allies like this, why is the world established?" I, a soldier of Nanzhao, are now about to capture Yaozhou and avenge the eldest prince! ”
With that, his generals also shouted.
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
This voice was higher and higher, and the morale of Nanzhao, who was originally a little low, was so agitated.
He Ling Jiang snorted coldly in his heart, Da Zhou said that he was unjust, so he accused Da Zhou of being unkind in turn, but it was a good excuse.
Zhi Wu didn't rush to make a move, but looked sideways at the Yinsheng County Lord, who was half a step behind him: "County Lord, it's time for you to make a move." ”
The lord of Yinsheng County summoned poisonous insects and snakes to climb up the city wall, and without the need for Nanzhao to make a move, the Great Zhou soldiers could be killed and injured first.
In this way, it can also frustrate the morale of the Zhou people.
The county lord of Yinsheng bowed slightly, raised his hand and shook it slightly, and the silver bell on his wrist made a crisp sound.
The sound was not loud in the open field, but it swept away in circles and circles with the wind.
After a while, there were dense insects and snakes in the mountains, forests and grasses on both sides, wriggling and crawling out.
Yinsheng Junzhong chanted a mantra in his mouth, and pointed forward with both hands, and those insects and snakes went in the direction of the Yaozhou city wall in an overwhelming manner.
With so many insects and snakes, those Zhou soldiers must have been shocked, and they hurriedly poured fire oil and gold juice to resist, but it was just a waste of money.
However, when the insects and snakes reached a distance of about ten zhang in front of the city wall, they suddenly stopped.
Zhi Wu frowned slightly, and looked back at the Yinsheng County Lord.
The Lord of Yinsheng County had also sensed that something was wrong, and was trying his best to shake the silver bell, and the incantation in his mouth kept coming, controlling these insects and snakes.
However, it was as if they were blocked by an invisible wall, and they were unable to move forward.
"County Lord?" Zhi Wu frowned and asked.
The county lord of Yinsheng did not reply to him, his eyes were firmly fixed on the dense insects and snakes in front of the formation, and fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
It was a long time before she lowered her eyes and stopped shaking the silver bell on her wrist.
"They must have sprinkled medicine to repel insects and snakes in front of the city walls, and the amount was quite ......"
Zhi Wu's heart was cold: "The county lord is saying that these insects and snakes can't get by?" ”
"Although insects and snakes can be driven by human spells, their nature can't be changed, and there are things in front of them that they don't want to approach, even if I have nothing to do......" Lord Yinsheng shook his head.
"I didn't expect that the Zhou people would take precautions against this move in advance. At this point, I can only give up......"
The tone of the Lord of Yinsheng County was full of helplessness.
Zhi Wu watched her cast a spell to summon insects and snakes, how could he have expected that the Yinsheng County Lord in front of him had already stood with He Lingjiang, and now he was just calling out the insects and snakes to make a appearance?
Since the worm and snake can't make it, then it's really a sword!
Seeing that the county lord of Yinsheng recalled the insects and snakes surrounding the city wall and dispersed, Zhi Wu immediately took out the big knife on his waist and pointed forward violently: "All the soldiers listen to the order and attack the city!" ”
"Rush!"
Countless Nanzhao soldiers carried siege equipment and rushed towards the city gate.
At the same time, on the city wall, there were countless sharp arrows raining down, shooting towards these soldiers who rushed forward.
Before they could get close to the city gate, the Nanzhao soldiers in front of them had already fallen.
The bloody atmosphere of the battlefield not only made them retreat, but also inspired a little ruthlessness, and rushed forward one by one.
The huge rushing cart slammed into the city gates, making a heavy noise, and was hidden in the shouts of the soldiers.
And those Nanzhao soldiers who arrived under the city wall set up a ladder and climbed up quickly.
The soldiers who defended the city in Yaozhou immediately threw down heavy rolling logs and huge stones.
I heard a scream, and before I could climb the ladder, the enemy soldiers had already fallen.
The shattered skulls and flattened shells were piled up on the ground like this, but they couldn't stop the Nanzhao soldiers from coming one after another.
On the gray city wall, the blood stains that were splashed added a layer of bright color.
He Lingjiang squinted his eyes and looked at Zhi Wu, who was standing far away in the rear commanding.
Nanzhao's offensive is so fierce that this person must be solved as soon as possible.
She borrowed a big bow from Ding Feng sideways, and then took a long arrow, and with a slight movement in her hand, there were two more talismans at the tip of the arrow and the end of the arrow.
Ding Feng was a lieutenant general, but he had to temporarily hold the big umbrella for her.
He Ling Jiang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes again, used all his soul power and internal breath, slowly pulled the big bow, and pulled the bowstring to the fullest.
"Whew!"
The long arrow broke through the air, and the bowstring, which had been suddenly released, made a subtle hum in the wind, and it lingered for a long time.
The long arrow, wrapped in the inner breath she had infused, shot straight towards Zhi Wu.
Standing surrounded by soldiers, as soon as he looked up, he saw a long arrow coming towards him with a cold murderous aura.
This arrow can shoot so far!
His eyes shrank, and he hurriedly lifted his broadsword to open the arrow.
"Poof!"
The blade of the arrow collided with the blade, making a slight shock, and immediately deflected in the wrong direction, towards his side and back.
Then, he heard a loud "bang", and the talisman on the long arrow exploded behind him.
Zhi Wu only felt a "buzz" in his ears, and the mount under him hissed violently, and he was about to drop his hooves and run wildly.
