Chapter 299: The offensive is in full swing
Syllable!
A Chu Army shield player raised the big shield in his hand and blocked the arrows fired at him in time, showing superhuman reflexes.
But what he never expected was that the arrow pierced through the thick shield without any gaze, piercing through his armor straight through, and the sharp tip of the arrow suddenly peeked through the back of his vest!
How is this possible? With incredulous doubts and unwillingness, he fell heavily to the ground.
And this shield hand was not the first person to die under Qin Yunxuan's black arrow, nor was he the last.
The shield-bearers and crossbow riders next to them saw their companions being killed one after another, and no matter how determined they were, they couldn't help but instinctively develop fear.
These warriors can endure the casualties caused by the dense rain of arrows, because if they are lucky enough, they still have hope of surviving and retreating to the rear, but once they are targeted by the opponent's terrible marksman, they don't even have a chance to dodge and resist, which is too terrifying!
In the crossbow formation of the Chu army, there was a scene that the rear commander did not want to see.
Immediately, two samurai broke out of formation, and they ran like flying with large black bows in their hands, and in a moment they swept hundreds of paces and overtook the formation, appearing at the forefront of the confrontation between the two sides.
Their skills were very agile, they easily dodged the crossbow arrows that fell from the air, and after they broke out of the key attack range of the guards' ballistaries, they immediately pulled out the longbows in their hands and sniped Qin Yun, who was active on the city wall.
On the entire mile-long section of the southern city wall, Qin Yun, who was holding the Sunset Bow and firing deadly arrows from time to time, was definitely the most eye-catching existence. Of course, the commander of the Chu army noticed his presence, so he immediately sent sharpshooters to suppress him, trying to save morale.
Whoosh!
Two black feather arrows shot up the wall like lightning, and the edge was aimed at Qin Yun, the speed of the arrows even exceeded Qin Yun's Xuantie arrows, and the archery skills of the two archers were even more excellent, firmly locking his position from the left and right wings. The timing and angle of the attack are impeccable.
In the face of the surging arrows, Qin Yun did not panic in the slightest, his body sank sharply and raised his right arm at the same time. The Sunset Bow swung diagonally and struck the feathered arrow, sending both arrows flying out in an instant.
However, the shock from his hand also made him secretly frightened, the strength of the other party was absolutely strong. The two feather arrows all contained a strong power of true qi, and even if they were six or seven hundred paces apart, they were enough to pierce through the thick armor.
Qin Yun didn't dare to be careless, but he wouldn't be deterred because of this, as the so-called invincibility was also rude, he immediately buckled a Xuantie arrow, pulled the bow and shot it at the sharpshooter on the right!
Shout!
The arrow is like a meteor, and it shoots in front of the opponent in an instant!
Seeing that it was about to pierce his chest, the sharpshooter suddenly turned around and dodged sideways, but he was able to avoid the arrow.
And his companion had already buckled the second feather arrow and counterattacked Qin Yun as quickly as possible.
The two sides shot seven or eight arrows at each other. No one can help anyone, although Qin Yun is one against two, but he has the city wall as a cover, so he is evenly matched with the other party.
However, in this way, Qin Yun did not have a chance to shoot the crossbow rider of the Chu army, which was equivalent to being suppressed and restricted by the other party. That's not what he wanted.
The battle intent in his heart was churning, Qin Yun reached out and grabbed an arrow placed in the mezzanine of the quiver, instantly pulled it out and put it on the bowstring, and the three-edged arrow flashing with a demonic light pointed directly at the target.
Chase the Wind Arrow!
This is a special arrow to accompany the Sunset Bow, and its refining method has long been lost, and the best craftsmen in the current army cannot imitate it. It belongs to the killing weapon with one less than one.
A few days ago, Qin Yun had shot three Flying Tiger Knights with wind-chasing arrows, but later the three wind-chasing arrows were all taken back by the guards and did not fall into the hands of the enemy.
At the moment when the bowstring was opened, the majestic innate true qi was continuously injected into the bow body and arrow body, and the entire sharp long arrow penetrated the bloody light, as if it suddenly had life.
That familiar feeling returned to Qin Yun's body again, and he could clearly feel that the bow body spirit was echoing his own power, resonating with his divine soul.
This feeling was extremely wonderful, like a predestined cause and effect, the power gushing out of the blood made Qin Yun even stronger, the distance between his eyes and his gaze suddenly shortened a lot, and he could even clearly see the light flashing in his opponent's eyes!
The next moment, he let go of his hand.
The arrow came out, just a moment of lightning and fire, drawing an imperceptible arc trajectory in the air, hitting the selected target, the Chu Army Divine Archer on the right.
The sharpshooter didn't even have time to make any dodge movements, the instinct of the martial artist had just warned, and his chest suddenly seemed to be hit by a 10,000-pound sledgehammer, and the whole person involuntarily withdrew backwards.
A bright blood flower suddenly bloomed!
The power contained in the arrow collided with his protective true qi the most fiercely, and the entire metal arrow completely collapsed and shattered, but it also broke through the barrier formed by the innate true qi, and the remaining arrow shaft continued to move forward under the action of powerful inertial power, piercing into the flesh and blood of the archer!
Poof!
This archer believed that he was an innate powerhouse, and for the agility and speed of his body, he only wore an ordinary suit instead of armor, and he didn't know what regret was until the shaft of the arrow penetrated his heart!
He threw out the longbow in his hand with open arms, and as he fell on his back, his eyes were full of confusion, pain, and remorse as he looked at the sky.
Until he fell into the dust, his eyes were still wide open!
This frightened the other archer, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he definitely didn't believe that someone would be able to shoot a warrior with innate primary strength with one arrow, the shock caused by Qin Yun's arrow was absolutely unimaginable.
You must know that the innate powerhouses all have the innate true qi to protect the body, which can completely resist the attacks of ordinary swords and arrows, even if it is the attack of the same level of powerhouse, it can also compete with one or two, usually speaking, only when the true qi of the body protection is broken, there is a danger to life.
What is the strength of his companions, he knows very well, the only explanation is that Qin Yun's strength is too strong, so strong that he can't fight at all, where does this archer still have the courage to continue fighting, and hurriedly turned around and used his body to escape towards the rear, completely ignoring the possible military punishment.
In fact, there are very few sharpshooters like him in the entire Great Chu Army, and the military punishment will not be too much.
Qin Yun watched the other party flee and did not chase and kill, not because he didn't want to, but because the arrow just now consumed a considerable amount of strength, and it was not so easy to strike the same blow again.
He knew best in his heart that half of the reason why he was able to achieve such amazing results was due to the Sunset Bow in his hand!
However, without the threat of his opponent, Qin Yun could still continue to let go and continue to shoot those unlucky Chu army crossbow riders and shield players with Xuantie arrows.
With his precise shooting and the rain of arrows covering the guards, the Chu army's ballista array soon suffered a large number of casualties, and the commander in the rear of course may have seen his own strength in vain, and immediately issued a new order.
Woo!~
The loud horn sounded throughout the battlefield, and the main force of the Chu army in the rear finally began to move, and the huge catapults slowly approached under the impetus of the auxiliary troops, and dozens of larger siege vehicles were mixed in the middle!
And behind the dense forest-like car formation, tens of thousands of infantry soldiers followed behind in black pressure.
Now is the beginning of the real attack, and the ballista duel ahead can be said to be just an appetizer.
The guards on the southern city wall immediately made-for-tat preparations, and the commanders at all levels gave orders loudly, and the hundreds of catapults in the rear creaked and began to reload, and the power of the crossbow arrows was suddenly much weaker.
Qin Yun also stopped attacking, and he keenly noticed that the armor system and battle flags of the first batch of siege soldiers put in by the enemy seemed to be a little different from the Flying Tiger Army: "There are other legions?"
"That's the army of Chengxia Kingdom!" Yan Qing next to him explained, a sneering sneer tugging at the corner of his mouth: "That old boy Wei Yue is using the Chengxia army as cannon fodder to consume our strength, you see that the main force of his Flying Tiger Army is still behind without moving!"
Qin Yun shook his head, secretly surprised by the ruthlessness of the opponent's commander.
Boom! Boom!
When the enemy's catapults advanced to the original location of the ballista array, the guards' catapults, which had been silent, finally began to exert their might, and stone bullets weighing hundreds of catties swept over the city wall like raindrops, throwing them towards the enemy!
Boom!
One of the siege vehicles of the Chu army was hit by two stone bullets, which instantly smashed sawdust flying, and a soldier standing on it could not dodge and was smashed into meat sauce on the spot, and several soldiers fell from the elevated platform with an unstable footing.
Many of the auxiliaries pushing catapults and siege engines were even worse, they suffered the double blow of crossbow arrows and stone bullets, and from time to time someone fell to the ground screaming, and they had to continue to push forward when they saw the blood of their comrades splashed into mud, otherwise the overseers with swords behind them would never show mercy.
When they set up the chariot in place, they immediately launched a fierce counterattack, and the same raindrops of stone bullets were thrown at the city wall, bombarding the Lingyang Guard soldiers stationed on it!
"Dodge!" one of the officers yelled.
He only cared about warning his soldiers, but he didn't notice that a stone bullet was falling on his location!
"Captain, be careful!" one of the fighters snapped up.
But the soldier's warning came too late, and when the officer saw the incoming stone, it was too late to dodge.
At this moment, a figure swept to his left like lightning, and slammed his fist on the stone bullet!
Boom!
The hard, huge stone projectile suddenly exploded into countless fragments, and a lot of dust splattered on the officer, who thought he was certain to die, and made him embarrassed.
But compared to being smashed into meat sauce, what is this embarrassing and ugly? rs
