Volume 5 Jiangnan Four Hundred and Eighty Temples Chapter 454 Scarlet Tongli (I)

The canopy boat walked leisurely along the water, passing through the water of the black-tiled and white-walled Tongli town.

If this is placed in the future generations, it must be a wonderful picture, even now, as long as it is in the daytime, it can also give people a sense of tranquility and comfort.

But when this picture appeared in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night when there were no stars and moons, the appearance of these two awning boats came very strangely.

When the boat reached the center of the town, the man at the bow of the boat had quickly plunged the long penny into the water, and the boat had been controlled to a slight stop.

At this moment, in the low canopy, four thin men each quickly came out, without any language and movement, they were already half-squatting in the dark, and when their hands were raised, the bows were already full.

With a few fires lit up, the fingers were released, and the bowstring rebounded—

Boom – whoosh......

One arrow after another, with a flash of fire, cut through the dark sky and fell straight towards the houses on both sides of the river.

As the arrows were fired, the boat moved forward again, and the eight archers kneeling on either side of the boat were still like statues that did not move in the slightest, but they kept firing rockets at the houses on both sides, and easily set fire to the houses made of wood and surrounded by fences.

Recently, there has been no rain in Suzhou for several days, and it is already very dry, plus the night breeze blows.

The fire burned and spread rapidly, along the outer walls, and went straight inside, and in a short time, the first dwelling to be hit by the arrow was completely engulfed by the flames.

It was only at this time that the screams sounded from the courtyards: "Go out of the water, put out the fire......

Many of the townspeople woke up from their sleep, saw the fire outside, felt the scorching flames and choking smoke, and all opened the doors in panic and ran out.

There are also those who react too slowly, and they are directly trapped in the fire, rushing left and right, but there is no way at all.

For a time, the originally quiet and peaceful town of Tongli was covered with red and black, red is fire, and black is smoke.

And the usual laughter and laughter were replaced by screams and cries, and everyone rushed around as if they had lost their souls, but they didn't know what to do.

If only one or two courtyards catch fire, everyone can still work together to put out the fire and save people. But now, the whole town is under fire, and the fire is still expanding, which is undoubtedly a huge crisis for everyone, and no matter how calm people are, they don't know what to do.

Only the people in the two small boats, still cold and steady, continued to go down the river, continuing to shoot rockets one after another under the town, igniting one house after another, and more innocent people were buried in the fire.

Seeing that the entire town was about to be completely engulfed by the fire, among the many black-clothed people surrounding various paths outside the town, someone had already let out a smug and rampant laugh: "I said that as long as you are ruthless enough, no one will want to escape from our hands!" ”

"It's just that there are thousands of people in Tongli Town...... "There are still people next to him who are a little unbearable.

But then he was quickly interrupted: "It should be for those monks who have attained enlightenment...... Look, isn't there a monk running out—"

As the man pointed into the town, they saw that someone was rushing towards them, and the bald head shone brightly in the light of the fire.

"I'm coming!"

With an excited shout, a man stepped out, raised a large bow with both hands, quickly wound the arrow, and pulled it hard, and the arrow was already whistling out.

In the blink of an eye, the sharp arrow had crossed the distance of one hundred and fifty paces, and accurately hit the fleeing monk in the face, so that his movements suddenly stopped, as if he had been hit head-on, and his body folded back, and he could not get up again.

"Good marksmanship!" Immediately someone excitedly exclaimed.

Encouraged by this, the man was even more energetic, and continued to search the town full of smoke and fire, and if he found a bald head, he would shoot an arrow.

No matter where a person is or what he runs into, under his arrows, there is no target that can dodge him. In just a few moments, he shot seven arrows in a row, and the arrows did not miss a shot, and he also took seven lives.

When the others saw this, they all laughed, and said with pity: "I knew it was so easy to solve, why did we come together?" As long as a dozen or so people came, it was enough to eradicate all these hundreds of people. ”

"That's it, I said before that there are masters to protect them, and even the people of Tianmu Village are folded in their hands, I think it's an exaggeration."

"It's not an exaggeration, the two owners of Tianmu Village were really taken by them, maybe this is because the green forest in Zhejiang is not strong enough......"

This sentence caused everyone to laugh heartily, only to feel that they were much better than the people from Tianmu Village. After this battle, his brothers and others were able to make a name for themselves in the green forests in the south of the Yangtze River......

Just as they were laughing wildly, thinking that everything was decided, just as the two awning boats had left the town along the river, an arrow suddenly flew up from above the forest at the edge of the town!

The whistling sound suddenly caused all the men in black gathered around the edge of the town to turn their heads.

Someone still muttered in his heart, it's all at this time, what kind of signal is there, do you want to rush into the town again?

But their doubts disappeared completely in the blink of an eye, because at the same time as the arrows swept through the air, the sound of killing suddenly rose from behind them.

Woohoo Blah ......

Along with the sound of killing, there was also the dense sound of breaking the air.

"Be careful, it's a random arrow......"

When someone came to the alarm and hurriedly shouted for a warning, the arrows had already rained down.

Although these black-clothed people all have good martial arts, their reactions are not much stronger than ordinary people when they are suddenly attacked and are shot by random arrows.

One by one, they hurriedly retreated, or rolled and threw themselves at any cover that could be hidden, or hurriedly waved their weapons in their hands, trying to resist the call.

But in the middle of the night, the vision was greatly affected, and dozens or hundreds of arrows rained from behind, even the most powerful person could not completely avoid the damage.

So the screams continued, and after some people fell, they could not get up, and some people desperately hid behind the trees behind the stones, and looked behind them in panic, but they saw arrows raining down, and they did not know where the enemy was.

At this moment, they seemed to have become innocents in the town who had just been mercilessly slaughtered by them, and they had also become prey in the eyes of others, fish on the chopping board......
