Chapter 187: Brave
The arrow made a sonic boom, and the next second, the enemy vanguard he was aiming at suddenly fell apart, and the arrow continued to fly with an indomitable momentum, and where the arrow passed, more than 20 people died, and the arrow fell heavily to the ground.
One arrow is terrifying.
This scene not only frightened the enemy army, but even the soldiers who saw the power of the giant bow and crossbow for the first time on the city wall were also dumbfounded.
Everyone looked at the giant crossbow, and there was heat in their eyes, but more awe.
Zhang Xiaochi didn't care about the eyes of others, pulled the bowstring in the shortest time, aimed at the crowded place and pulled the trigger again.
In the next second, more than 20 more soldiers of the enemy army died, especially the soldiers who bore the brunt of the death, and the death was even more miserable.
The giant bow and crossbow did not start once, and it took at least three or four strong adult men to pull the bowstring, but at this time, Zhang Xiaochi seemed to be tireless, shooting out one arrow after another, and in less than a minute, hundreds of enemy soldiers died in the hands of Zhang Xiaochi.
This scene deeply shocked everyone at the scene, one person and one bow, in such a short period of time, there can be such a terrifying record.
This achievement can be said to be unprecedented!
As a party concerned, Zhang Xiaochi seemed to be tireless, constantly pulling the bowstring and releasing arrows, and after a while, he let him shoot three arrows.
As for the enemy army, the number of new deaths naturally increased by more than 60.
"Retreat, retreat!"
The enemy commander was stunned, Da Viet had this city wall, plus a row of giant bows and crossbows on the city wall, they couldn't force the city to break through.
And, if you delay any longer, there will be more souls under the giant crossbow.
Although they were outnumbered, they could not withstand such attrition, so they decisively withdrew their troops.
Seeing that the other party began to retreat, Zhang Xiaochi was not in a hurry, pulled the bowstring and wound it, and shot an arrow at the retreating enemy army, due to their dense personnel, this arrow caused the enemy to lose more than 30 people in an instant.
The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were frightened and scattered, and they accelerated their speed to flee for their lives, for fear that they would become the object of care in the next second.
However, the enemy retreated and retreated, but Zhang Xiaochi did not continue to release the arrows, in fact, it was not that he was unwilling, the main thing was that this group of guys ran too fast, the distance was far, the power of the giant bow and crossbow would be greatly reduced, the arrows were not easy to refine, he didn't want to waste them at will, and even if he could go to the battlefield to recover the arrows, there was a great risk, and there was no guarantee of complete recovery.
Seeing the enemy retreating, the soldiers on the city wall were extremely excited, and a group of people cheered and celebrated that the enemy had once again been repulsed.
At this moment, Zhao Hongde came to the city wall with a large group of people, but when he saw the retreating enemy army, his face suddenly became a little dazed.
"Why did they retreat?"
Zhao Hongde asked.
"General, it's because Zhang Daren turned the tide and scared the enemy away with the power of one person."
Soon, some soldiers guarding the city told Zhao Hongde about the process of Zhang Xiaochi's husband and wife.
"General, don't listen to his nonsense, being able to repel the enemy army is definitely not my credit alone, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
Zhang Xiaochi replied modestly.
Zhao Hongde's eyes fell on Zhang Xiaochi, he knew Zhang Xiaochi very well, this battle, to make Jin Guo retreat so quickly, Zhang Xiaochi definitely contributed the most.
However, since Zhang Xiaochi chose to keep a low profile and not be greedy for merit, he would naturally follow suit.
"Now that the enemy has withdrawn, quickly send people to clean up the battlefield and try to collect the giant arrows that were fired."
Zhao Hongde commanded.
This kind of thing naturally does not need to be done by Zhao Hongde and Zhang Xiaochi in person, the two stood on the city wall to supervise the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and when they finished cleaning, Zhao Hongde invited Zhang Xiaochi to leave together.
On the way back, Zhao Hongde turned away from the people around him, and then looked at Zhang Xiaochi and said.
"Xiaochi, you came at a really good time for this hundred catties of wine, and almost all of our senior commanders were brought down at once."
Zhang Xiaochi touched his nose, although Zhao Hongde's words sounded extraneous, he definitely did not suspect that he was a traitor.
"Uncle, it's all my fault, and I shouldn't have indulged everyone to drink."
"I don't blame you, everyone has worked hard for so long, and now there are such solid fortifications, it's normal to relax."
"Even, I should thank you."
"Thank me?"
Zhang Xiaochi paused for a moment, was it to thank him for leading the defenders of the city to repel the enemy army?
"Yes, if it weren't for your hundred-pound wine, Jin Guo would not have chosen to attack the city today."
Zhao Hongde replied with a smile.
Zhang Xiaochi's brain was flexible, his brain was spinning rapidly, and combined with Zhao Hongde's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he quickly thought of something.
"Uncle, do you already know about the traitor who leaked the news to the enemy?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongde just smiled slightly, and did not answer Zhang Xiaochi's question, but changed the topic.
"When those guys wake up, you go and tell them that I will go to Chixi Restaurant to invite them to dinner at night."
After speaking, Zhao Hongde rode away at an accelerated pace, leaving Zhang Xiaochi alone in the wind.
Looking at the direction of Zhao Hongde's departure, Zhang Xiaochi scratched his head and couldn't help muttering.
"Dinner, please!"
"Could it be that the mole is in Chixi Restaurant?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaochi shook his head again, basically the sons and daughters of the major families who went to Chixi Restaurant for dinner, and the rest of them were also the old men of the Zhao family.
If this was put aside as usual, he would definitely not believe in these sons, but now it is different, he doesn't comment on other people, but he can definitely trust those who go to Chixi Restaurant to eat and drink, even Lu Xiaofeng, who has the deepest grudge against him, dares to trust him 100% on the issue of right and wrong.
If nothing else, just because they are not afraid of life and death, and the life and death tasks that they have carried out again and again, they are worthy of his trust.
"Forget it, we'll know the result tonight."
Zhang Xiaochi thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out who the spy was, but fortunately he didn't think about it anymore, cleared his thoughts, and quickly returned to Chixi Restaurant.
"Husband, you're back!"
Seeing Zhang Xiaochi appear, Lin Xiaoxi's pretty face was obviously much more relaxed.
"The enemy army has been repulsed, everyone can rest assured."
Looking at the eyes of a pair of people looking at him in the restaurant, Zhang Xiaochi explained with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Xiaochi's answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaochi, what should they do?"
The second aunt pointed to the son of the family who was lying on the ground and asked.
"Let them continue to sleep, and prepare the night's meal, General Zhao will come here to eat at night."
As soon as they heard that the old man of the Zhao family was coming, everyone suddenly came to their senses, and Zhang Cheng and others hurriedly ran to the back kitchen to prepare.
